[Talk-GB] Fwd: [Wikimediauk-l] Ordnance Survey 1st series 1:10, 560 - a complete mid 19th century map of Britain
FYI, From: Fæ Date: 13 September 2017 at 14:09 Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Ordnance Survey 1st series 1:10, 560 - a complete mid 19th century map of Britain To: UK Wikimedia mailing list Category link: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Ordnance_Survey_1st_series_1:10560 A full set of high resolution OS map scans is being gradually uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and indexed by historic county. These are very large files, 10,000 pixels wide, so are both in TIFF and jpeg format to make reuse easier. These are of 'specialized' interest, but I would think could be of use to both Wiki Loves Monuments projects and readers of this email list interested in early maps and geo-related experiments. The maps show plenty of fine detail, including inns/pubs, churches, bridges etc. Those that still exist will be likely to be listed and protected, and those that are not, may still be great photography subjects. Note that to view the maps, Commons' in-built ZoomViewer is useful but it appears to be broken today, so you may have to settle for examining the full size jpeg in-browser. As I write this, the uploads are working through "B", so the projects is going to take several weeks to complete. If there are ideas for how better to categorize or template these maps, feel free to drop a note on my Commons talk page. It is always possible to do some post-upload housekeeping or adjusting the way the uploads are currently getting formatted.

[Talk-GB] Chesterfield Pub meeting 19th Sept
The East Midlands (aka Nottingham) pub meeting will be held at the Market Tavern on Tuesday 19th September in CHESTERFIELD. I've talked about having one of the Nottingham pub meetings in Chesterfield, and decided as September is the last reasonable month for this year to do it. I would like to extend an invitation to any OSMers in the vicinity and particularly folk around Sheffield & Rotherham. I will be outside the pub an hour beforehand if anyone fancies trying to find some bits of Chesterfield which needs mapping. Best wishes, Jerry ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb

Ah, you spotted that too. I directed him to Overpass Turbo in the comments on his previous post; as yet no reply :) Regards, *Paul* On 12 September 2017 at 22:22, Andy Mabbett wrote: > This may interest some of you: > >http://www.paulplowman.com/stuff/house-address-twins-proximity/ > > -- > Andy Mabbett > @pigsonthewing > http://pigsonthewing.org.uk > > ___ > Talk-GB mailing list > Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org > https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb > ___ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
Re: [Talk-GB] "an extraordinary quirk in the UK address system"
It's been done: http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/51951288. Unfortunately reading the comments I noticed a remark about a No. 441A and I realised my interpolation must have had an error. On checking I found that I'd placed the known address one house over. This means that continuing the interpolation means that the last house on the Bolton side is 445. As the 441/441a is from an OS Map of uncertain date I felt I couldnt use that as input. My suspicion is that the numbering coincidence was deliberate. There are long gaps on the Bolton side which would surely have allowed them to chose any particular number range.
