Renaming categories/products and duplicate content issues

When I rename one of my products or categories the URL changes.

For example renaming a category from canvas shoes to canvas espadrilles has the following effect:

http:// www.example.co.uk / store / canvas-shoes / cat_16.html

http:// www.example.co.uk / store / canvas-espadrilles / cat_16.html

This is great but the old URL seems to still work. Both URLs are now pointing to the same page. This is causing me duplicate content problems.

Does anyone know if there any way to resolve this?

Any chance you could provide a URL. The cubecartforums search isn't returning anything for Advanced SEO mod, neither is Google.

Thanks.

An update

I've decided to put the old urls in the robots.txt file

If anyone else has a similar problem i'd be grateful to hear what you did.
