Lowestoft (or elsewhere): Compare over 100 years ago with today on a map.

Whilst looking for something else, I came across this interesting website from the National Library of Scotland.

If you open the link below, it will show a map of Lowestoft from about 1904-5. If you use the slider at the top of the window marked "Change transparency of overlay" you can view the map overlaid onto modern-day satellite imagery. The page can be zoomed in and out with the mouse scroll-wheel or the +/- buttons at the top left, and dragged around the screen to look further afield. The map covers most of the UK. There is a facility to draw on the map (top right of window) and take screenshots for non-commercial use.

Below are two such screenshots at each end of the opacity scale.
