Particulars: Source "BG" = Bartholomew gazetteer of places in Britain / comp. by Oliver Mason.
The order of the places in not strictly alphabetical, first listed are the towns of England, than Northern Ireland, followed by Scotland and Wales.
At the bottom of the place name list the main towns of Guernsey, the Isle of Man and Jersey are found.
Included are towns with over 40,000 inhabitans in 1981 in England, and also some smaller towns in the other parts of the United Kingdom.
Due to the structural changes in the organization of the local government since the 1970's some raptures between the figures in consecutive years are alas inevitable.
The abbreviation "(LAA)" under the year means this column contains figures of districts as well.
The compiler might be forced to make a supplementary file for the urban centres and districts since 1975.
