Hi all, Hugh Corley and Keith May - sympathetic digital archaeology types at EH were approached a few years ago (through me) about making available the whole list in a useful data format. They were prevented from doing so because of all the management threats EH was under at the time.
Now that seems to be settling down it might be worth another go? Another approach might be to find one local authority with a friendly Historic Environment Records officer as a test case? You'd get much more detailed records too.
