If you look at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:addr you will see there are a few 'ancillary' sub tags including suburb, but there is little consistency, and despite what the addr:place tag says about NOT using with addr:street it is the most consistent where a second or even third line of 'street' data is required. addr:flat(s) flat number(s) within 'housename' addr:housename ( addr:housenumber ) name or number addr:street From the postcode addr:place Within town area addr:city Consitent with Facebook - everywhere is a city :) addr:county Which may not match 'postcode' addr:postcode The reference doc I'd like to quote is not publically accessible, but http://www.bitboost.com/ref/international-address-formats/united-kingdom/ is a good summary. Just missing the primary and secondary Building Name where flats are located within one of a number of buildings on a single street. -- 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
