Re: [Talk-GB] 1947 Boundaries
Hi Rob, Sorry, it was late. The 1 inch maps don't explicitly show rural district boundaries (though they do show the individual parishes) nor do they name the areas, so might be of limited use to you. The nearest in date 6 or 25 inch map should be your best bet (the boundaries didn't change much in the 30s-50s). Again, many of these can be found scanned on the NLS website. Available under a non-commercial use CC licence so might be an issue for your non-osm purpose. (osm has explicit permission). Small scale overview maps of administrative divisions can be on a county-by-county basis under the 'boundary maps' tab on http://www.visionofbritain.org.uk/maps/ (licence is cc-by-sa 4.0).

Re: [Talk-GB] 1947 Boundaries
Hi Rob, Contemporary OS maps showed the borough and district boundaries. The 1" New Popular Series dates from around that time. The 6" and 25" maps are more detailed but many didn't receive a post-war revision until the 50s. A good selection of OS maps is on the National Library of Scotland website.
