I’ve just seen this: how much sewage is in your local river - frightening

This is brilliant (from the thread https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/interesting-map.272657/):

This is fascinating, particularly if you like looking up local history stuff.
In a nutshell, it allows you to place a layer of a modern satellite image over a map from a year of your choice. You can then fade the transparency of the satellite imagery up or down. Its very interesting to be be able to pinpoint exactly where old buildings etc were.

LIDAR maps come in handy from time to time... found myself looking at one today to see if i could see the course of an old go-karting circuit, then ended up scooting up the Lune valley to an area north of Arkholme and Melling, where it can be quite clearly seen all the different courses the river has taken over the years...

link to LIDAR map source. it's a bit patchy. there might be a better one somewhere.

Seen a few such sites, all appear as patchy. The NLS site has a LIDAR facility on their map images.

Resurrecting an old thread here, but title seems apt.
Was in Oxford for a day out on Friday, and visited the Weston Library (New Bodlian?).
In the foyer area hangs fragments of an old tapestry map dating from c1590.

I was born and raised in the area showing as Whitley Park, which is now a council estate, built between the wars.
Can't help wondering how great it would be to travel back in time to see it then.
Presumably it was a hunting park for the well-heeled, being as it appears fenced off to keep the hoi polloi out.
There's also an exhibition there about the history of radio - well worth a look if you're in the locale.
