I couldn't find a mention of this with a search but apologies if this has been mentioned here before.By total fluke I stumbled across http://www.tracksintime.wyjs.org.uk/ (it's from the West Yorkshire Archive Service and funded by the Heritage Lottery fund) whilst looking up some family history You can compare side by side Tithe maps from 1836 and various generations of OS maps to the present day view.(I'm not from Leeds but have lived here for 25 years or so and only found out recently that an ancestor from the 1820's, more or less the first recorded as coming from outside a compact border region of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, was from Bramley)

Thanks - it has been covered before but last time I looked it wasn't working - now looks great. A handy resource to have.
