I am sure many of you will already know of this Website - but I only just found it the other day (and still trying to get use to it!) and thought it might be of use to those who haven't seen it.. Go to this website; _http://citystreatz.leicester.gov.uk_ (http://citystreatz.leicester.gov.uk) and Click on the "CityStreAtZ" logo on the left You can navigate the map by clicking on the red buttons +, -, etc, at the top then clicking on the map. If you click on the "Maps-layers" tab (above the search box), You can choose from several layers - including one called "Leicester base Map" which will show you the street today. But the really interesting one is called "Historic Maps". You can select from a number of maps and when you click "Refresh" it will layer them - one on top of another. agian - use the red buttons to zoom in/ out and move around. It seems quite complicated though, - maybe when one of you "experts" have mastered it you can post some better instructions to the list. Regards, Mark
