Default [OT] Old maps

I love browsing old maps and the following site has been brought to my attention

Using the drop-down menus on the left brings up all sorts of interesting maps,
all of which are zoomable.

A marvellous resource which will probably consume far too much of my time :-)

As another who loves maps, thanks, I have bookmarked this site. Are you
aware of http://www.oldmapsonline.org and also
https://www.charlesclosesociety.org/.

I have a complete set of 1:50000, 7th series 1" and my oldest OS maps
are dated ~1914. My wife says I'm the only person he knows who curls up
with a good map - but obviously there are more than just me.
