Enclosures

I had a meeting today about a project in our village. Ian had a map that he has assembled of Swanland & North Ferriby that shows the villages pre-Enclosure Acts. It would be good to create an overlay with the modern OSM map for people to see how things have changed in nearly 200 years. In case you haven't guessed, the answer is lots.

I need to warp Ian's map to fit the EPSG:3857 projection, make its background transparent and then build a little app to show one layer over the other. I'll see how I get on.
