Where to find old map of Swords?

    I'm basically trying to get a map/image of what the part of Swords where the Pavilion Shopping Centre now resides used to look like.

    I remember as a kid there was steep winding roads, old-style country brick-walls, shrubbery and houses in the area, but when I recently visited Swords for a trip down memory lane it was like Back to the Future to me to see the whole area had been totally wiped away by this monstrous shopping development.

    I've tried all the usual online searches for a map without look and don't yet want to go to the bother of sourcing old folding Dublin road-maps so I thought some kind soul here might be able to help me find a way to check what those streets were like some 15+ years ago?

    All help gratefully received.

    The Ordnance Survey of Ireland site has an Historic Archive section - unfortunately down til Wednesday - but on that, you can find the site today and by clicking various layers, find old maps of the site and old aerial photos.
