Old Maps

  I love old maps. There's the beauty of them, so different from the dull ones of today. And there's the thrill of seing the places as they used to be - open countryside instead of endless suburbia, with collieries, workhouses and other extinct institutions scattered about.
   Old Maps Online is a good place to see them. You can look at maps of various ages and scales, and they don't seem to want any money for it.
