Modern technology

Oh, the joys of the internet. Just now I searched for old maps of the town where I live, you see I'm looking for one that shows the historic building where I play. When I did the search there were a couple of old maps, but not the ones I'm looking for. Most of the maps, however, had nothing to do with here. Places like Shoreditch workhouse, for example. Perhaps I'm just being stupid, but I don't see any connection between Shoreditch workhouse and the seaside. Duh.
