Secret sites put on the map, courtesy of KGB

Mark Chillingworth

Organisations looking for land information have a new resource collated by Russian spymasters, the KGB.

British mapping and environmental information specialist Landmark has added maps of the UK created during the Cold War to its portfolio.

Produced by the Russians between 1950 and 1997, using aerial photography, satellite imaging and spies, the maps could prove invaluable in tracking the history of land that may have had a military use and need to be treated for possible contamination.

The purpose of the maps was to pinpoint military installations, which were purposely left off Ordnance Survey maps.
