Try http://www.durham.gov.uk/durhamcc/usp.nsf/pws/GIS+-+Online+Mapping

Click on 'Launch GIS now'.
When the map screen has loaded, click on 'search', select 'town' and enter Southwick.
A present-day map of Southwick will load. You can select old maps via the drop-down menu at the bottom of the page. Zoom in or out using the +/- buttons.
