This building is tagged as a mosque, but not as a place of worship.

Baitul Ehsan Mosque, adjacent, is tagged as a place of worship, but not as a mosque.

Needs a #survey to check ground truth.

Obviously*, "building=mosque" is only for a building purpose-built as a mosque. By the doctrine this probably means it has some stereotypical mosquey features.

*not really

Masjid Usman is shown here on a reliable online directory

Is it on the ground? and where precisely? if so

any further details on this mosque? The name literally means "Friday gathering mosque" - is it an overflow from one of the nearby mosques used only on a Friday? if so, which?

etc

I have re-tagged it to building=commercial rather than building=mosque. If it really was built as a mosque when first built, that could be changed back

tagged as building=mosque

from aerial, looks quite like a former pub, so should be building=pub (probably)

if it's in use as a mosque, it should have amenity=place_of_worship tag

anyone local have any info?

should this really be tagged "building=mosque"? that would be for a purpose-built mosque, which would be rare in the UK. More likely a converted former community centre, non-conformist church, or pub. #surveyme or check aerial view
