I found it on a site recommended by our friend A Bob, it says:
Two scales of historic mapping are available:
The 1:10,560 (6-inch) first edition surveyed 1844-1850 (published 1847-1853) is available for those pre-1974 Lancashire areas within the current county.
The 1:2500 (25-inch) first edition surveyed 1884-92 (published 1891-1894) is available for several urban areas.
It looks like the one I was looking at is the 1884-92 edition. For your interest the website is
