There are several potential additional sources:
- Vice county boundaries<http://www.cucaera.co.uk/grp5/?refs=TQ28&map=road&vcs=true&graticule=true&nsgrids=false&zoom=10&lat=51.57536261053028&lon=-0.2032470703125>: these were devised in the 19th century for recording plant distributions. They have remained unchanged and so show the original boundaries of Middlesex, Surrey, Essex & Hertfordshire. It does not show the boundary of the county of London <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/County_of_london>(predecessor of the GLC from 1888 to 1965), which included bits of Middlesex, Surrey & Essex. - Old 1:25k maps at the OpenStreetMap Out-of-copyright<http://faffy.openstreetmap.org/?zoom=13&lat=51.52139&lon=-0.07682&layers=000B00000>map collection or at NLS<http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=12&lat=51.52774&lon=-0.08606&layers=B000000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF>. These pre-date the creation of greater London and show earlier boundaries. The NLS has a wide range of less detailed maps which can help provide the overall picture. - Old 6 inch maps<http://maps.nls.uk/geo/find/index.cfm#zoom=11&lat=51.52765&lon=-0.08612&layers=B000000FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTFFFFFFFFF>at National Library of Scotland. These aren't georeferenced, and are of most use when the area is already known. It is unfortunate from an OHM perspective that the University of Portsmouth Vision of Britain data has a restricted licence. (It's also down today).
