    Do you mean old maps Jen? I always used
    Changes to Old Maps website - Landmark Information Group
    http://www.old-maps.co.uk/
    Why is Old Maps no longer available? Over the last 10 years Landmark has partnered with the team at Old Maps to sell our historical mapping data to consumers keen to learn about local history or purchase printed maps for personal or decorative use. Viewing and printing these maps from the Old Maps website was […]


    but have just had a look and the site seems to have changed. Give it a try anyway.
    Looking for Allinson, Barker, Bedford, Crosby, Emanuel, Glasby, Heseltine, Lister, Moorhouse, Morgan, Rees, Seymour, Sidwell, Summers, Tate, Turpin, Wilson

            Thank you Christine.........I,m actually looking for a map going back 40 years of Chadderton, a suburb of Oldham. My eldest son was born there and he is very interested in seeing or having a picture of the house/street, as he was born at home. They were demolished about 1971 ish.
            I have googled till I'm blue in the face and even been on the Manchester gov site, hoping to try and find a picture...but theres nothing out there......so a map could be the last resort.

              It's always worthwhile looking for old maps on Ebay. I picked up a repro. 19th. century map of Sunderland and a couple of excellent 1920s Lake District OS maps for my daughter for not a lot of dosh.
