Does anyone know of any good online resources listing old UK vegetable
varieties?

And tied into that, good seed stockists of old varieties.

TIA for any help

Thomas Etty Esq is both a source of information and seeds but his new site
is not complete yet. There is a list of reference works for you though...

Just noticed you are able to click on the references and get a list for the
introduction of veg as at a date etc.
So if you wanted varieties available, say, in 1787 click on the Mawe &
Abercrombie reference or in 1879 then click on the Suttons catalogue for
that date.
Seems it's just his seed catalogue that is not working but I'm sure he could
provide seed when you decide what you want. It's a one man band so give him
time. :-)
