If you search for 'Walmer' you will find it. This map is a larger scale to the revised version. Points to note: It shows Upper Deal Mill, although it is not labelled, and no other windmills. Other items that help to date it are the military features, or lack of them. There is present a 'Battery' on the coast north of Sandown Castle; no Naval Yard and very few Barracks buildings in Lower Walmer.

I was particularly pleased to see the OS field book sketch for Deal area drawn in 1797, but updated circa 1815. The first version was not updated, but is only available at the British Library. I have a scan of this and it is very interesting to compare with the modified one.
