old maps of warrington

My mother's family lived around Watkin St, West St,Orford St, Winwick Rd. These have all gone due to 20century redevelopment. Are there old maps and photo archives I could tap into to help form a picture of what it was like for them?
Also they worked at Atherton Quay and in the factory yard as cotton spinners in 1841.

The Alan Godfrey map series contains a couple of old Warrington from (I think) 1902 which should have what you need. They're only about £3 and are available to order online
