The URL should be:

which re-directs you to a further URL.

Lots of info, not just maps.  Have not had time to look at any of it but I am sure I will do so will let you know.  Maps available here:
http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/maps/
Including some good historical ones.  Older than the ones that used to be free if you hit the tab on Multimap but now are expensive through oldmaps (I think)

Didn't look very interesting.  Berkshire Records Office publish the enclosure awards and my allotment site was created by the enclosures and i found that very interesting.  Maybe your county records office does something similar.
