Are you aware of <http://www.old-maps.co.uk>? From a quick scan, they 
may sell scans of the maps you want ("(c.1854 - c.1949) 1:2,500 (25 inch 
to 1 mile) scale pre-war County Series mapping from the Ordnance Survey" 
and "(c.1846 - c.1969) 1:10,560 (6 inch to 1 mile) scale pre-war County 
Series mapping from the Ordnance Survey.")
