The Grub Street Project
https://www.grubstreetproject.net/
The Grub Street Project is a digital edition of eighteenth-century London. By mapping its print culture, literature, and trades, it aims to create both a historically accurate visualization of the city's commerce and communications, and a record of how its authors and artists portrayed it.

That looks potentially very useful. I’ve only had a quick look so far at a couple of maps.

 I’m going to add that to my favourites.

Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks Ruskie, I wasn't sure whether or not to post it so you've just made my day. ;D

Happy hunting,
