Thanks for the advice and engagement here. I'm currently looking at filling in postcode information and post towns happens to be a side-effect of that.

Sources I used:

Hi,

Yes, Settle is the post town for BD24 but read on.

Tagging for UK addresses means you have to read through the labels to arrive at the actual meanings, thus:
addr:suburb = town, village, hamlet name (if different from the post town)
addr:city = post town

We're describing the addresses here, not the locations. They're not always the same thing. Locations can be computed (eg by Nominatim).

More info: osm.wiki/Addresses_in_the_United_Kingdom#Address_tags

I've corrected the nodes that had Settle twice in their addresses. Thanks for that.

Regards,
_Paul_

Hi Colin,
Thanks for the correction. I've reverted this in changeset #132591441.

Thanks for spotting this. I've resolved it on changeset #132424144.

Upon a survey today, even that note was wrong. All signs show "Westerley" so no issue.

Resurveyed and fixme resolved on changeset #131240068.

It'll be a typo by Kirkees I'm sure. In which case, even though it is nominally "ground truth" I'd ignore it.

This has happened elsewhere, eg: way/4325553

Thanks again.

Actually, I found one:
https://www.kirklees.gov.uk/beta/food-exercise-and-sport/search-for-walking-and-cycling-routes/maps/Shelley_Pathways.pdf

Never knew it was called that!

What's your source for "Pussy Lane" please?

Not your fault but the busways are no longer showing up on the Standard layer. Might be the "access=no" tagging?

Nice changeset number!

I'll remove them then. If there's an actual name that describes the whole road (eg Great North Road), I'll put that in its place. Probably most of them will go.

If they add nothing, I'm happy to remove them.

A great many have already been tagged in this way over the years by various authors. Just bringing the tags up to the same consistency.

Resolved on changeset #128078151.

Still wrong!

Thanks. You're right to call out the mass edit. I'll raise the issue in the proper way.

My reasons were: I don't think the tag adds any information, the country code might be better represented as UK anyway, and these tags themselves mostly originated from fhrsid imports in the first place.

Reverted on changeset #127404106.
