Andy Thanks from me for working on this with Chris Fleet and co at NLS. One point to check is out-of-copyrightness of the individual sheets as presumably that affects our ability to use. As usual, just ask if you need any input from me.

It also has the whole of Scotland and part of northern England north of Manchester available at 1:25,000 too (The Provisional Edition/First Series). I've added the correct tms settings for JOSM to the relevant pages of our wiki. The two TMS values are: For the 7th series use: tms:http://geo.nls.uk/mapdata2/os/seventh/{zoom}/{x}/{-y}.png For the 1:25,000 maps use: tms:http://geo.nls.uk/mapdata2/os/25000/{zoom}/{x}/{-y}.png Note the "-y" value in the above, NLS is using the OSGeo tile numbering rather than Google/OSM tile numbering format. If you don't see imagery appearing it's probably because you are zoomed in too much. The highest zoom level available appears to be 16 for the 1:25,000 and 15 for the 1-inch 7th series. As far as I am aware NLS are keen to have us use these resources. Bob I know has had some discussion and I have a call booked with the senior map curator Chris Fleet for later in the week. I'll discuss some more with him and find out to what extent we can make use and to what extent they still have more to come online. Note also that there are other layers available, especially for Scotland, check them out via the mosaic viewer at http://geo.nls.uk/search/mosaic/ I haven't checked but I'm guessing we should be able to create TMS links for all of those that are useful.
