Anyone know of any good (free) websites which show historic maps of the Ashton area from the 1900s through to the 60s, 70s and present day?. There's one or two OS maps sites I've come across but they don't see to provide much in detail and for specific years.

Old Map of Ashton Online!

Several Old Maps Online from which to choose from!!!

worth noting that the nls site doesn't post the maps up if you use Firefox browser (not for me anyway) so you have to use Internet Explorer (or maybe one of the others works too)

I use Firefox and often load NLS maps with no problem. Just checked . No problem.

Wigan museum have old maps. I bought some last week £3 each. the best ting is you can see if it's really what you want before you buy
