I used to buy a prototyping board from RS in the 1980s. It was a bit like
veroboard: a single-sided pcb with a 0.1" grid of holes, but with individual
pads on the copper side instead of strips. (They might have been used for
wire-wrapping, but I used to solder to them. The non-copper side was blue.)

I can't seem to find them again. Anyone know what they might be called and
where I can buy them?

There's hundreds of different types. Have a poke through:

(that's the union of CPC and Farnell catalogues)
Look at both 'Prototype Board' and 'Pad-per-hole'
