Changing Landscapes is a unit of the BBC Schools TV series Landmarks from the 1980s & 1990s, covering Geography for primary school pupils.

Programmes about the shipping and coal-mining industries. Groups of schoolchildren visit their local docks or mines to find out more about them, and we follow a lorry driver and a miner as they go about their business.

Two new programmes were paired up with two programmes on the same topics originaly shown on Now and Then in 1986. In 1992 the All Change at the Docks programme was re-edited and shown as part of the Landmarks unit on Transport.
