I really don't believe this is substantiated as a peak which is why I placed the fixme. Old OS maps mark the cairn as a pile of stones and it is suspiciously close to the parish boundary. I suspect that Grey Crags actually refers to part of the common rather than this bump on the moor (i.e., would be more appropriate as place=locality). I very much doubt if locals were interested in minor topographic elements, but rather named places which were exploited for pasture of mining.

Also I suspect the high point of Lowick High Common is usually referred to as Kirby Moor, e.g., in lists of Marilyns (see also wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirkby_Moor). I haven't worked out if this is that high point. There don't seem to be OSM elements tagged with either name.

Either way I still think my fixme is relevant, as there are quite a few imponderables.

PS. Changeset discussions are much better than direct messages for this sort of things, particularly as others more local than me might have more knowledge.

Your mail to talk-au was pointed out to me & I had a go hunting for Rugby Run & (eventually found it) changeset/99833825#map=15/-22.1365/147.9288. The old homestead is mapped which if I'd found that would have speeded things up.

Do you have on-the-ground knowledge about this footpath way/407387401? The rise in ground & my memory suggest it is unlikely.

Hi & Welcome,

Many thanks for adding this path, it's one I've been meaning to check out for ages (& I imagine in the last year it's got much more use).

I've slightly tweaked it because the path was glued to the edge of the park & the wall of the old nursery (I think the editor automatically glues things which are close together).

Best wishes,

Jerry

Sounds like it, @trigpoint pointed out a few others elsewhere. Thanks for the hint.

Hi Andy,

Just wondered if St Mary's Drive should be residential rather than unclassified. Presumably it was originally the service road driveway for the golf club before the houses were built, or were the houses built at the same time.

With respect, Bernard, I have to say this comment is out-of-order, and is an inappropriate way to greet a new mapper.

The firm's privacy policy clearly states that their address is 5-7 Mandeville Place (https://thestudenthousingcompany.com/privacy-policy). Many companies will have their registered office elsewhere (for instance I doubt if anyone from the OSM Foundation visits St John's Innovation Centre in Cambridge), often at their lawyers or accountants office, or at a serviced accommodation address. You cannot make any assumptions about where the business is located from the registered office without further knowledge. Please bear this in mind in the future.

Hi,

Many thanks for taking the trouble to correct details in this area.

For permissive paths you can make the details more precise by adding foot=permissive (and bicycle & horse if that is appropriate), rather than just using a label. This information can be directly used by apps. You can just set access=permissive, but this notionally would apply to all viable transport forms so is not recommended.

In general if a path exists on the ground, but is not publicly accessible we general recommend leaving it but changing the access status to private. This is because the path is likely to be added again if it is visible in aerial imagery or someone passing through sees it. The downside is that not every app using OpenStreetMap data respects this information.

For roads, driveways & tracks accessing properties probably the best access choice is destination. A number of delivery firms (notably Amazon Logistics) now use OSM for planning & routing delivery drivers.

I hope this is of some use.

PS. I'm intrigued that there is a building marked "Filter House" by New Hall. Does this belong to the water company?

Knepp is a very famous re-wilding experiment run by Isabella Tree & her husband Sir Charles Burrell. She has written a book about it. I doubt if, as yet, we have established tags enabling the mapping of such a thing: a description or note tag would indeed be useful for those unfamiliar with Knepp.

It's a long time ago, but can you remember why the footpath to the bridge on Heol Pensonby is tagged as accessible to motor vehicles? This doesnt seem very logical & one of the Mapbox mappers encountered this from a driver report note/2486249. Geograph describes it as a cyclist/walker underpass (https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3812911)

Despite what the Name Suggestion Index says & indeed the corporate website, many Harvesters are food-led pubs rather than restaurants. If a pub tag has been there for a long time it suggests that this is a consensus decision. For instance The Royal in Hanwell was always felt distinctly a pub (it was local to offices I worked from), and many family members retreated from The Derby Pool (Wallasey) because it was too noisy: i.e., pub-like rather than restaurant like. Yes, it's marginal, but I think it's best practice when doing updates like this to not change the judgement of local mappers.

Hi,
As user_5121 says this edit moved a few nodes of Hatfield Road, but also extends to a corner of Luzon Island in the Philippines. We've had to change things back to what they were. No problem with that, everyone takes time to get to grip with editing.

I wondered however if you live close to St Albans along the Hatfield Road? The reason is that it's possible that you accidentally clicked a button which move the edit window to your current location. I'd be interested to know because this may be a behaviour that the editor should warn about if the distance is long.

Best wishes,

Jerry

Thanks, was just about to do that myself

The Furness Road Allotment site still looks pretty " allotmenty" on the latest Bing imagery

You were right it must be a StreetComplete thing. I used a rather too large bbox & found a couple of hundred round London & adjacent areas. I've added the 30 mph to them, will follow up with StreetComplete shortly.

Any chance of checking the speed limit on Cleveland St, South of Maple Street. In April 2014 this was 20 mph. (Just going through some StreetComplete speed limits which have just added maxspeed:type & not maxspeed & realised I had photos of the area).

Hi Thomas,

I've been adding 30 mph to those marked as nsl:GB_restricted, so its only those with single which matter. I may do all of these in one go today. In some countries I think they just put national urban speedlimit without an explicit value, but consensus in UK was to be explicit with maxspeed:type to privide further info. StreetComplete's main developer is German so some of this may have been lost in original discussions with them over UK speed.limits. In general they are extremely conscientious, taking great care over tag values for quests (there's an arcane thread on the forum about cobbles & setts).

You'll notice me making a few other minor changes around Ruislip as I hunt for rooftop solar panels. For instance I'm adding footway = sidewalk to pavements and splitting these at crossings where the footway tag changes to "crossing". Also a bit of road realignment based on modern imagery & OSGB open data.

Best wushes,

Jerry

Hi,

Very belated query, but you seem to have added maxspeed:type=GB:nsl_single on all of these roads. I dont suppose for a minute that these have 60 mph limits, so I assume you meant nsl_restricted for 30 mph. I can fix thisnif you confirm that is the case.
