I highly recommend these, especially the side by side / overlay
comparison feature, which is of great interest to see where old railway
lines ran, and what is there now. The large scale maps go into great
detail, showing locations in many cases even of signal posts.

It's sad, though, to see how much railway infrastructure has been lost.

It'd be even sadder if kept, all that wasted land especially in town
centres, and countless bypasses not having a route to follow, causing
even more farmland to be gobbled up. Digging up the old level crossings
makes the roads safer, too.
