How to find the details of a property in the Valuation Office Survey
The Valuation Office Survey, which was carried out between 1910 and 1915, provides a unique snapshot of land and property in the Edwardian era, assessing its worth, how it was used and by whom. The survey took place as a result of the 1909-1910 Finance Act which provided for the levy and collection of a duty on land in the United Kingdom based on any increased value of the land as a result of public money spent on communal infrastructure. There are two types of records: marked-up Ordnance Survey maps and field books. The maps act as an index to the field books. The field books provide information such as the names of owner and occupier, details of tenancy (term and rent), the market value of the property and a description including the area covered, the number of rooms and the state of repair. The National Archives guide suggests consulting the maps first in order to find the appropriate field book. However, the following table provides an alternative way of finding the field book for particular roads or properties in Mortlake and Barnes Mortlake
