An incredible online project that has mapped Charles Booth's highly detailed, hand-drawn maps of London in the late 1800s with the Google API, allowing you to compare them to the modern map quickly. Booth was a socialist who spent years walking around London and drawing out each neighbourhood into "poverty maps" that showed which streets showed signs of wealth or neglect, as well as logging policing activity in the area. It's an immensely intricate snapshot of the period and a very neat project.
