I would also be interested in knowing as maps fascinate me.
Perhaps if you contacted Ordnance Survey at Southampton they would be
able to assist. Would maybe be useful if you let them know what
resolution (contour intervals) you required. I have seen such maps but
they have been specially manufactured for commercial organisations
(civil engineers, etc.) but have never seen such a thing for sale over
the public counter. Good luck with the search. As a last resort I do
know that there is a company who reprint very old OS sheets. This may be
a way to proceed as the ground 'clutter' should be significantly reduced
from what it is today.
