If anyone's following along, now streetmap.co.uk has disappeared, a very similar (arguably easier to use) site with #ordnancesurvey #maps (1:25k and 1:50k and larger scales) is:

Hmm. Interesting. Features I have added to Open Street Map are now showing up on Ordnance Survey maps without any attribution.
Need to do some more digging on this.

Now streetmap.co.uk appears to be offline, where else can one still get #OrdnanceSurvey #Landranger or #Explorer (1:50k or 1:25k) maps online?

@dougcoulson I can add an interesting corollary. There was a plan to develop the Yorkshire village of #Ravenscar as a small holiday report, but the initiative failed. Interestingly, the proposed street layout made it onto the 1910 #UK #ordnancesurvey map. This link shows the unbuilt town in all its imagined glory. Not exactly a 'paper town' but not a real town either. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=15.2&lat=54.40126&lon=-0.49365&layers=6&b=ESRIWorld&o=100

#Victorian innovation never ceases to amaze me. If there was a process needing industrialising, scaling, and making more efficient, they found the solution. Exhibit #1: how Carlisle solved the tricky problem of polishing its turds. #OrdnanceSurvey #Map #Manure #EnvHist #NineteenthCentury #History
