addr:locality could cause confusion in OSM because place=locality is a
named place with no population?
I live in a post town so things are straightforward, but I've never been
entirely sure how to tag addresses in the village and town either side
of me. For example the Royal Mail address:
Thank you chaps.
Colin: I said 'technically' because I saw the address in lots of web
searches without the Rottingdean and believed that Royal Mail weren't going

there seem to be 3 schools on the same schoolground:
