This might have been posted before quite a nice zoomable tool on NLS Maps

Thanks Mark; I've not seen that before. Just spent some time zooming in and out around my local area in the Dales. The major faults stand out well (Craven Fault system etc) and the north Ribblesdale drumlin field is spectacular. Hopefully the blank areas may get filled in as time progresses.

I've found tons of stuff in my local area using this tool - many unknown pits and rustic-industrial features, and now the only authenticated coal strike workings remaining untouched in Sheffield - their centenary year. This is the Whinmoor, or Mickley Thin seam, worked illegally by unemployed miners and their families in 1921. Sadly much of my area of interest in the Peak District isn't on the map! The 2m DTM has slightly better coverage, but not much.

A detailed search of the DEFRA website shows where the gaps are, I think the Castleton catchment will have to wait until the end of the year. 1m DTM coverage map below:
