Hi
There is a variety of Maps in www.old-maps.co.uk from 1885 to 1903/4, 1920, 1937/8, 1946.
in various scales.
Just enter LYE in the maps search and choose the Worcestershire option.
Some of the maps are titled Staffordshire for some reason but they still depict the same place.
The 1/10,560 scale are zoomable and both scales are navigable ie you can move NESW + diagonally by using the arrowheads on the borders of the mapview.

I have family who also came from lye waste.
the town lye lies on the main road between birmingham and stourbridge in the west mids. it is now an highly asian populated town, and the high street is mainly indian restraunts. i have read a bit about the origin and it was first populated by gypies and refugees in the 1600's.

Lye Waste is north-east of Stourbridge which was once in Worcestershire  , my family from there appear to have used the Oldswinford Churches for their hatches, matches and despatches.
What name are you researching there ?

There's a photographer's shop called Harts still in Lye High Street, but then I suspect you knew that already
