+<h3>How do I view maps from different decades?</h3>
+
+<p>For many areas, we have maps from a number of different years. By default,
+ we always show you the most recent map we have. That gives you the best
+ chance to locate postcodes, and allows us to produce the best list
+ of free postcodes that we can.</p>
+
+<p>However, we do understand that sometimes people would like to be able
+ to compare how things have changed. For that reason, we provide a second
+ interface to view our maps. With this one, we allow you to browse all
+ of our maps from each decade.</p>
+
+<p>You can browse by decade by <a href="/pickDecade.html">going here</a>.
+ (We currently have maps from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s).
+ Please note that we do not have maps for all areas for all decades, so
+ you may find that you can only view a given place at only one or two
+ dates.</p>
+
+<p>If you have maps for an area for a decade that we currently don't,
+ please do contact us.</p>
