UK Map
Here is a link that some members might find interesting. It is a really cool map of the UK complied from ordinance survey maps from 1919-1947 - England, Wales and Scotland only - sorry Ireland and Northern Ireland.
It gives a good snapshot of what the country was like up until the end of the last war. So no motorways, but a lot more railways.
It has been put together by the National Library of Scotland. You can use either the slider on the left or the wheel on your mouse
