Hi Julie, Have googled and found a good map of area and time line I want but, writing is so small even when enhanced. Ideally, I would like one to purchase so I can study it properly at my leisure lol Jen

Here are a couple of ideas (remove any *): http://www.alangodfreymaps.*co.uk/ new prints of old OS maps http://www.rod-neep.*co.uk/ Archive CD Books has CDs of maps by region (plus lots of other goodies - most proceeds go towards book/document conservation, I believe). - I haven't checked that they have what you want.
