Hi, I may be wrong, but I believe that there were some home (furniture) shops that didn’t sell clothing, and some years ago my family would reliably buy wallpaper from Laura Ashley which had the traditional Laura Ashley design on it. So that would seem to back up the “interior_decoration” tag. So I don’t know that you can necessarily generalise without a survey of each store - although I agree that clothing is probably the most likely for most cases these days. Not that I’ve been in one for quite some time!

Even if you don't get a huge response (like with The Range) it is good to get wider opinion. With The Range I simply didn't know so had no response. A short poll in my household (myself + my wife) concluded: "Laura Ashley is a clothing store that happens to also sell furniture" On Fri, 20 Dec 2019, 00:52 Silent Spike, <silentspike...@gmail.com<mailto:silentspike...@gmail.com>> wrote: I'm a UK based maintainer of the name suggestion index<https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name_Suggestion_Index> and would like to get this brand added. Unfortunately it's not so obvious how it should be tagged and I'm not comfortable making a tagging judgement call alone without consulting the UK community. My last thread of this nature for The Range didn't attract many responses, but some input is always better than none and it allowed me to get that brand into the index knowing that if consensus changes then the tagging can easily be updated in OSM. Here's the Laura Ashley website and Wikipedia page for those unaware of this chain: https://www.lauraashley.com/en-gb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Ashley_plc It looks like currently there are: * 44 shop=clothes * 20 shop=furniture * 15 shop=interior_decoration * 4 shop=houseware * 1 shop=home_furnishing * 1 shop=fabric * 1 shop=fashion This makes sense as it seems that furniture and clothing are the main items sold. The tagging alone seems to suggest `shop=clothing` is favoured more - does this seem reasonable or do you think another tagging is more suitable? _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org<mailto:Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
