Wellwell, thanks M for pointing out the Maps section, I've read the text of that great site many times but never seen the maps ! http://www.british-history.ac.uk/mapsheet.aspx?compid=55118&sheetid=3403&ox=370...

Probably my favourite site for old maps is the Vision of Britain site as it's so easy to navigate, you can move across large areas just by dragging, and can zoom in & out to reveal different maps all of great clarity. At maximum zoom it shows a first Edition map of the Flaxley area from 1831, very early indeed and showing the Camp, Grove and various Farms. (List below the Map shows the available Sheets and their dates).

From this link to modern map, use dropdown "Map Layer" menu to select "C19th", perhaps also select "bigger map" from top R/H side.
