When I lived in Hillingdon I wanted to build a garage at the bottom of the garden. The OS maps showed a storm water drain running through the next property and under the track behind where I wanted to build. I had to dig down and show that we were clear of that drain ... except it was 6' further over ... right under the corner of the garage. So now there is a wooden porch which can be taken down if they need access. Bottom line - even the OS maps can't be taken as accurate! -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
