List of available UK historical maps and link to thumbnail for each

The map images available here are mainly from the period 1920-40 (see key map) and cover an area of 12 x 18 km (with small overlaps to adjacent maps)

They show on a base map of the Ordnance Survey 1 inch = 1 mile, major transport links with dates of opening and closure (day and year where known), for railways, stations, canals and major new roads. Improved roads, where a smaller road has been e.g. made into a dual carriageway are indicated. This includes preserved/reopened lines with date of reopening. Railway dates include dates of goods and passenger traffic closing, and closure dates of stations.

Proposed (but not built) railways and major roads are also shown.

New lakes are indicated.

They show the boundaries of built up areas as of today, for the base map (1920-40) and for 1900 and for other intermediate periods for larger settlements.

They also show coastal changes (land gain, land losses).
