You can switch between the old rainfall map & the modern one by using
the 'change transparency of overlay' slider.

I knew about this site, but had never noticed the 1881-1915 rainfall overlay.

Of course this begs the question if we have rainfall data to produce such a detailed map as this why do the Met Office only have a gridded data series that extends back to 1910?
