Regarding the Old-Maps UK website I have been on and off that for a couple of hours now and the Enhanced Zoom feature has not been available, so perhaps it is just off temporarilly or maybe its use has been withdrawn. Shame if it has but I can see that it may make commercial sense.

As a child I recall looking out for Holbeck High and Low very soon after a train left Central or City station. I recall there was quite a noticeable difference in height between the two in such a short distance (or perhaps that was just how it seemed to me as a child).

It's far easier than asking me by typing and waiting for me to type a reply back!!

ok im trying lots of things here but to no avail. starting now with a search of graingers way then clicking Majestic Wine depot with that awful new zoom.this website isn't as good as it was last week *the problem is that search doesnt land you on the holbeck stations and you can't move around far on this website without doing a new search and talavera street isn't searchable. nightmare...

Zoom in on the area you want, double click on the point you want to get the target thing and then wait a bit....the background map will then come up and the old map options on the right. It's a bit old fashioned in that you have to wait, pick you fingernails, add something to the shooping list, look into the middle distance and wonder what that thing you've forgotten is, remember an old joke and...oh there it is....

Huhm, you seem to be struggling with that map for some reason.I don't use the search at all, just type in Leeds when you start, then you can drag the map about as quick as you like, hit the area you want and away you go. You can zip all over the place real quick and never use the search box at all.

If you want Holbeck High and Low Level Stations on old-maps pablo, enter coordinates 428900 and 433100. I miss the old multi-zoom as well.

Try to imagine waiting for BBC 1 to start childrens tv at 9 on a saturday. If you don't double click to place the marker it will show you the old map for where the marker is, not the bit you've dragged to.
