New web site available from October 2015, search for sheffieldarchivemaps - lets you see and buy copies of the old 1:500 scale town maps of Sheffield circa 1890.

The best site I have found for maps is The National Library of Scotland who have maps of the whole of Britain. You have to do a bit of searching and dragging the maps around but it is worth it and some have modern overlays. Here is an example. http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=53.3849&lon=-1.4603&layers=6

Thanks Mr.H. but apart from your's, most of the maps mentioned cannot be accessed from outside the U.K. (not your fault of course.)

Yes NLS is a good resource but the maps at sheffieldarchivemaps are at a scale of 1:500 and are far more detailed.
