Answer 2

I think what you actually need is called a gazetteer.

http://www.gazetteer.co.uk/
http://rmhh.co.uk/maps.html

and for a much more modern map
http://www.multimap.com/
the gazetteer is excellent and I'm sure you will find what you need on there. If you have any problems just edit your question and I will see what I can do for you.
