Dear all,

Some time ago someone posted a link on here to a free website that allowed one to overlay various historical maps onto present day maps. Can't find the blessed thing anywhere, though! Could someone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks!

Gloria,

Thanks for that. I tried that one, but it wasn't the same as the one I'd earlier used when the map had lots of differently yeared overlays that could be used...

I don't remember anything like that. Sounds useful! Are you sure it came from this site?

Fairly sure. I certainly remember using it to look at Haggate, which suggests it came from here.

If I'm wrong - and I do find it - I'll make sure to link it, though!
