Don't get too excited, folks!
I wanted to find a road on a map of 1910 while I was at TNA. Not having an atlas to hand, and with no access to Ancestry in 1901, I asked the enquiry desk the quickest way to find the enumerator's description.
There isn't a quick way to find it on the GR site. But, if just before you download the image, you click the previous button, and keep on clicking it, you get to free images. These are the enumerators' descriptions and various statistical sheets. This is an incredibly clunky method (and I blush to say that the road I was looking for is within spitting distance of where I work:o) but it is interesting that GR has actually more images than Ancestry, which only has the descriptions.
