One of the datasets we’ll be using in this module is data on the Tour de France derived from Twitter feeds. You can find a link to download the data, and more info on its preparation on the Tour de France data webpage.
A book by John Stillwell and Rachael Unsworth (Around Leeds, A Guide to the City Centre, Leeds University Press, Leeds, 2008) discusses the development of Leeds as a city, including rapid recent growth. As part of the preparatory work for the volume, data were collected on Blue Plaques in and around Leeds. This data file is available here: Blue Plaques Data.
