Re: [Talk-GB] Footpaths - search for the missing ones

A very interesting dataset, Just a belated comment regarding the footpaths on the c.1900 maps. We do need to be careful not to infer too much about public rights. It is only modern (1960s onwards) OS maps which have shown definitive rights of way (in OSM terms designation=public_footpath). Older

Re: [Talk-GB] Footpaths - search for the missing ones

Hi all, I received an email yesterday from Chris at National Library of Scotland / GB1900 project. All public domain links so reposting it here: 1.I was curious myself to see how the distribution of footpaths looked a century ago based on the GB1900 abbreviations so I mapped the data I sent

Hi Dave, Two elements: - This is GB wide. Prowmaps has a lot now but I think so areas are still missing. - Not all footpaths are registered and with a 2026 deadline the race is now on to register old footpaths before they are lost forever. Thanks, *Rob* On Wed, 9 May 2018 at 23:37, Dave F

Re: [Talk-GB] Footpaths - search for the missing ones

Hi I'm probably missing something. As we have current data on prowmaps.co.uk, will using such old data have any value/accuracy? DaveF. On 09/05/2018 21:13, Rob Nickerson wrote: Hi Just posted a "challenge" to Loomio for anyone who is interested. It's a bit beyond me so thought I'd post it

[Talk-GB] Footpaths - search for the missing ones

Hi Just posted a "challenge" to Loomio for anyone who is interested. It's a bit beyond me so thought I'd post it here. Basically we have point data of historic footpaths (some 300k points) and I think it would be amazing to compare this to OSM to see if we can find more footpaths to map.
