Hi Listers, Not sure if this particular site has been mentioned previously on the list but found the following worth exploring :- <http://www.hathitrust.org/> Digital Library BTW If you are interested in the old railway system and tourist description (1866) of various places in Lincolnshire/Notts and adjacent counties can recommend:- Bradshaw's handbook for tourists in Great Britain ... sec.4 1866, fascinating reading. Full Text version of books or single page pdf's can be downloaded for free! <http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015065192935> Duncan Payling, Melbourne

Thank you Duncan for this. It's a great site. A TV series has being screened about modern journeys along routes described by Bradshaw. It is great viewing.
