Mapping resource - England 1895-1905


I'm posting this for myself to find later as much as for you. This is simply amazing. Go here and read this:
http://mappinglondon.co.uk/2013/victorian-london-in-incredible-detail/

Then come back and click this link:
http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=50.9699&lon=-0.8826&layers=168

The above pieces are quick screen captures of just the tiniest part of that map that covers most of the UK. Outstanding!

AND yes, you can zoom to individual BUILDINGS on many of these maps.
