>>Are there any *non*-historical uses for NLS - Bartholomew Half Inch, 1897-1907; NLS - OS 1-inch 7th Series 1955-61; or OS New Popular Edition historic.
Of course there are. Historical maps are a huge source of meta data for the landscape, much of which cannot be obtained in any other way. The whole purpose of making the OOC OS maps available is because they contain information that is entirely relevant for today's map. Having spent many many hours scanning and rectifying OOC OS mapping for OSM (not any other project such as OHM) I hope that my efforts and those of the others who have gone before with NPE etc have not be wasted. Of course like all sources its necessary to understand the context. When referring to old data sources you need to take a view on whether the information is still likely to be relevant or indeed if it's still present on the ground, but using old sources with modern BING and other open data means that we can enrich OSM mapping.
