Hi,

   someone from Berwick-upon-Tweed has written to the OSMF board, mainly
to ask if it is ok to use our map in a local history book, but along the
side pointed out two issues with the map:

"The two Museum symbols at NU 00023 52563 and NT 99988 52538 are no
longer relevant as the museums closed several years ago and the area is
now private housing."

I'll leave it to you to figure out what these coordinates mean and which
museums may need to be checked ;)

Bye
Frederik

Re: [Talk-GB] New user has cleaned up Mevagissey...

[Colin Smale]

I took a look at the changes in this changeset and they all look
reasonable to me. I think this particular Liz Hurley is the proprietor
of a bookshop in the centre of Mevagissey and the changes are all within
a stone's throw of her premises, so we have to assume she knows what is
going on there.

Longitude: -2.00120135375

Latitude: 55.76641149

and

Longitude: -2.00175915259

Latitude: 55.7661868566

according to 
.


However, I would suggest that 10 figure OS national grid references 
could only have come from a council database based on OS data, so may 
not be usable.  They are precise to 1 square metre.


The objects that best match are:

Re: [Talk-GB] Museums in Berwick-upon-Tweed

[Stuart Reynolds]

Use  DEFRA’s “Magic” map, which allows you to stick coordinates in in a wide 
variety of formats, and more importantly provides tools for seeing where a 
place is in a wide variety of different referencing systems.

You can find it here: http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx

Specifically, entering “NU000525” (OS six figure refs, so lose a little 
precision) gives the museums at Fisher’s Fort in Berwick 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1792339349)

and for the adjacent NT999525 refers to 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/71319888

[Dave F]

Could you double check this one Colin?
http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1783610098/history

I'm surprised our Liz has time away from all that bikini modelling to 
work on OSM.

http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Liz%20Hurley

So far she has two changesets which together delete a whole bunch the 
shops in Mevagissey. I will try to revert the deletions.


For some reason she also sent me a PM asking if I do work for 
others I responded asking her to stop her current activities and 
consult the help, wiki and forums for info to get started.
