There is a way around this. I've been using the Ordnance Survey 1:2,500 - Epoch 1 for larger cities/conurbations and the 1:10,560 - Epoch 1 series for outlying areas, from British History Online for some time now. The URL is:- http://www.british-history.ac.uk/map.aspx It's a free database (so far!). Well worth a visit for those interested in historical mapping (it also has the VCH online plus many other resources). Old Maps is in my opinion a total rip-off and is now pretty useless for any serious research.

Their market appears to be for "gift maps". I'm not sure if anyone else agrees but I feel that their pricing structructue is extortunate for what <SNIP>
