The access rights on way/322875404/history need checking. The footpath to the south is a public footpath, as is the one to the north, but this section is allegedly only permissive. My recollection of this area is that the section where this note is is PF, but although the PF is signed north everyone takes the shortcut (actually the signed PF may not be accessible - or I may be thinking of the access at osm.org/#map=18/53.14654/-0.52668&layers=QN). Anyway - needs a survey.

As drawn, the landuse here is misplaced. The fence to the west of the footpath way/273674141 is the boundary between the farmyard with the buildings in it (to the east) and the farmland (not meadow as I recall) to the west. Needs redrawing properly.

Something odd seems to have happened to way/4902282/history - it's been deleted. It overlapped way/4902133 (which has very odd tags, and probably needs a proper survey to see what it is), but the tags that were on way/4902282/history aren't duplicated.

More duplicate copied-from-OS-StreetView alleged localities here - there are 4 "Coleby Low Fields". I'm guessing that in reality these do not exist. Needs checking to see if any of them actually are verifiable on the ground. If they don't, and only exist for historical reasons in OS maps (which are a pretty unreliably source of locality names), they don't below in OSM.

More duplicate copied-from-OS-StreetView alleged localities here - there are a couple of "Harmston Low Fields". I'm guessing that in reality these do not exist. Needs checking to see if any of them actually are verifiable on the ground. If they don't, and only exist for historical reasons in OS maps (which are a pretty unreliably source of locality names), they don't below in OSM.

More duplicate copied-from-OS-StreetView alleged localities here - there are a couple of "Bassingham Fen". I'm guessing that in reality these do not exist as individual locations. Needs checking to see if any of them actually are verifiable on the ground. If they don't, and only exist for historical reasons in OS maps (which are a pretty unreliably source of locality names), they don't below in OSM.

Duplicate "Scopwick Heath" localities seem to have been copied from an old OS map east and west of here. Does either actually still exist?

My recollection suggests that there is not a separate footpath here; certainly not one from which you can't access the road at all.

The footpath here doesn't match GPS traces, doesn't join at one end and looks a bit angular and unlikely. Needs a proper survey.

Note that the Bing imagery is offset here (look at the traces to south and west for confirmation). The military bunker is in the correct location, the "hole in the field" (and presumably all the other traced-but-not-surveyed landuse locally) is not. Needs remapping with proper attention to imagery offset.
