Dennis,
Only a partial answer to your query, but NLS has put online the Ordnance Survey ten-mile to the inch (1:633,600) Planning Maps series, with two sheets covering Great Britain showing 'Coal and Iron' reserves in 1945:

All,
I have a patron researching coalfields in Great Britain, France, Belgium and the Netherlands from the early 19 th century through mid 20 th and he would like some maps to include in his report. I don’t have anything in my collection but found these two maps online: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:British.coalfields.19th.century.jpg and http://etc.usf.edu/maps/pages/7200/7264/7264z.htm . Also looking through David Rumsey in the meantime. Wondering if anyone has maps for those areas scanned for their collection or print maps where I could get scanned copies?
Thanks,
Dennis
