[Talk-GB] One for Post Box obsessives
I've been doing a bit of attributing to post boxes of late, and have a couple of queries: - Around Maidenhead a wall post box mounted in a brick pillar is a fairly common type. I'm at a loss as to how these might be tagged using post_box:type. A good example is SL6 4, which is tagged as a pillar, but according to Post Hoc is a wall box http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postboxes/boxinfo.cgi?ref=SL6+4. See this box on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/oxfordshirechurches/2558826678/ - Old hexagonal Penfold postboxes come in different types (according to wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillar_box#Penfolds), but there are also nearly as many 1990s replicas as the real thing. To date there are only 3 or 4 post boxes tagged post_box:design=penfold , but it would be nice to hunt down a few more and then work out which are which.

I've been doing a bit of attributing to post boxes of late, and have a couple of queries: * Around Maidenhead a wall post box mounted in a brick pillar is a fairly common type.

A good example is SL6 4, which is tagged as a pillar, but according to Post Hoc is a wall box http://robert.mathmos.net/osm/postboxes/boxinfo.cgi?ref=SL6+4. See this box on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/photos/oxfordshirechurches/2558826678/ I have always used post_box:type=wall for these, since the post box is literally embedded in something else. Even if in these cases the 'wall' is rather short. * Old hexagonal Penfold postboxes come in different types (according to wikipediahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pillar_box#Penfolds), but there are also nearly as many 1990s replicas as the real thing. To date there are only 3 or 4 post boxes tagged post_box:design=penfold , but it would be nice to hunt down a few more and then work out which are which. I think I have used note=hexagonal_pillar or similar for the few I have come across. I agree a post_box:design=X is better for the more interesting post boxes - specially when you know what type they are! learns about Penfold ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

I think that post box has the wrong ref on OSM. Post Hoc shows an offset of 830m and the cipher on that Flickr photo is EIIR, not GR The closest box to that node on the Royal Mail dataset is SL6 7; photo on Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/34648965@N03/6111904170/ note the inaccurate description - compare the background with the photo on this page http://www.192.com/atoz/business/maidenhead-sl6/employment-and-recruitment-companies-and-consultants/project-people/304bca06b78cf4d6836adfa80a9a2188e7c713f0/ml/ On 21/03/2014 18:19, SK53 wrote: I've been doing a bit of attributing to post boxes of late, and have a couple of queries: * Around Maidenhead a wall post box mounted in a brick pillar is a fairly common type.

Re: [Talk-GB] One for Post Box obsessives
The actual post box is more or less immaterial. I just didn't have one of my own photos to hand. The post box concerned is just opposite Norfolk Road, on Craufurd Rise just before the railway bridge and next to a substation. It is certainly not the one in the photos which you link to, and indeed doesn't seem to be on OSM (probably got lost during the license change).
