The National Library of Scotland has a fantastic service where you can view loads of old maps, side by side with their modern equivalents:
maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#
I've lost hours on there.

Bought my Bro a map of the Wirral and Dee Estuary from that site this Xmas. He was delighted and has just had it framed.
