Old English maps :
« on: Wednesday 09 April 14 18:33 BST (UK) »
Hi All !

Can someone tell me if there's a site where I can research street names on old 19th century maps ?     
I'm fed-up looking for ancestors' homes using their census details; while Google provides me with some 2014 'bi-bop' street named after the local Mayor's girl friend.

Thanks..., with tongue-in-cheek..., Iain.     ;)

Stan and Longer..., thanks very much for the URL's.
I'm looking forward to the weekend to look at them closer.

Kind Regards..., Iain.
