This is quite nifty

Otherwise, maybe a trip to Sheffield Scene (Surrey St) to get hold of the map reprints they stock

The maps.nls.uk site also has an "overlay" feature - here is a link. Click on the blue dot at the left-hand side of the screen and drag it to the left. Other maps of different dates can be selected in the panel above.
