Has various old maps for UK. Exact maps available seem to vary by location. Links to NLS maps mentioned above. You seem to have to dig around the map menus to see which maps exist for your location of interest. The Overlay" feature is great. You can have the current and a historic map selected and choose to mix between them. [100% old -- 0% new], all the way to the opposite.
Some notes I made regarding this site:-
Click on one of the 'OS One Inch' options, then 'create overlay', move the slider and you can see how things have changed over the years.)
