The National Library of Scotland has an impressive web tool that allows you to overlay detailed historical Ordnance Survey (OS) maps (dating back to 1841 for this instance) onto modern satellite imagery. The interface lets you adjust transparency and blend between past and present landscapes.

Here is the tool overlaid on Bath.
