Have fun. Danny

	Better still try www(.)old-maps(.)co(.)uk This has maps from the late 1880's. Just type in place, postcode or street and see a map of the area in victorian times. Ken

	Tried both of these - Daniel's and Kenneth's suggestions. Daniel's is very useful, and easy to use. The 'old maps' site is facinating! Thanks for sharing the info. Bx
