Hi,
I have been talking with Cristopher Fleet from the National Library of
Scotland. He is keen to promote the mapping services of the library to the
Openstreetmap Community and other groups that are interested. They have set up
various services including the OS 7th Series which is overlayed with a
transparent OSM Layer.
see
http://geo.nls.uk/search/mosaic/
Areas in Scotland, England and Wales are now available
Cristopher would like to make sure that the WMS layer is compatible with JOSM
so that future releases of data is available to us
From his e-mail

The Ordnance Survey One-Inch to the mile Seventh Series of Great
Britain (1952-1961) is available as individual sheets
at http://maps.nls.uk/os/one-inch-seventh-series/index.html and as a
georeferenced layer athttp://geo.nls.uk/search/mosaic/ (in the left hand
drop-down list, choose “Great Britain – OS One Inch, 1955-61” ).
The MapTiler tileset is
at: http://geo.nls.uk/mapdata2/os/seventh/${z}/${x}/${y}.png
The Web Map Service is at:
http://geo.nls.uk/cgi-bin/mapserv.exe?map=e:\\mapdata2\\os\\seventh\\mapserver.map&;
These Seventh Series maps have been georeferenced by the National Library of
Scotland, with generous funding from Wilbourn Associates - further details

Cristopher has also posted this information on the OSM Wiki
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/7th_Series#National_Library_of_Scotland_Seventh_Series_mosaic
Unfortunately TimSC who was maintaining the 7th Series for OSM has decided not
to contribute further to OSM although I am not sure if he is still interested
in maintaining the 7th series WMS for other projects.
Is there anyone available to contact Cristopher concerning the National Library
of Scotland service?
If there is could you contact him on the E-mail address posted on the wiki
(reference number 6) or through me.
The folks at the NLS are really excellent and It would be very beneficial for
us and them to get more interaction going
Thanks in advance
Cheers
