Images of England
Images of England was an English Heritage project intended to create a freely accessible online database of the 370,000 listed properties in England at a snapshot in time at the turn of the millennium. Each database entry includes a representative photograph and a description of the building written by an expert architectural historian. The project is now closed and only those properties that were designated as at February 2001 are recorded.
