Heya, looks like you might have made a typo with the tags on way/1472493972 in this changeset — you added a tag Dovedale=Bowfell. Were those meant to be separate house names on separate houses? :)

Great, thanks. Personally I’d leave house numbering to an in-person survey (e.g. with StreetComplete) because it’s hard to get right from an armchair! Thanks for updating it and adding the UPRNs.

Heya, I just looked at the Cadastral Parcels for this estate, and several of the houses which you’ve numbered and tagged as detached look like they’re actually semis:

- way/1299615197
- way/1299615211
- way/1299615177

The UPRN database agrees (https://osm.mathmos.net/addresses/uprn/CA28-9BH)

What was your source for the house numbers?

Indeed, fixed in changeset/180662032 :)

I see you’ve updated it in changeset/180447381 to continue the footpath through. Thanks for that :)

180427709

Super, thanks, I thought it would be something like that — an easy mistake to make!

180427709

Did you intend to remove the Wikidata ID from way/691263314? It seemed to be correct.

Thanks for the updates in Grange :)

Hiya, thanks for the attention to detail you’re adding here.

I’ve had to undo your changes to the access tagging because they’re not quite correct — access=customers grants access to all transport types (including cars) to a way. foot=customers is the correct tagging for saying a footpath is for customer use only, and that’s how these paths were tagged already. :)

Any questions, just ask, happy to help if needed

Heya, the public rights of way overlay still shows a public footpath heading north from Williams Way to Moss House Lane. Does it no longer exist, or has it been rerouted?

If it no longer exists it should probably be marked with a line on the map, tagged as:

designation=public_footpath
foot=designated
razed:highway=footway
note=Footpath no longer present on the ground March 2026

Otherwise someone’s going to accidentally add it back to the map in future as per the public rights of way overlay :)

Super, thanks for fixing it!

Heya, are you sure the Facebook address is correct for this pub? It leads to a page about The Dispensary in Heysham. :)

The erroneous armchair mapping was also in changeset/177558392.

No problem, you’ve got up to speed fast!

I’ve just submitted a few more tweaks to what you’ve done today, but nothing major.

One thing to note is that driveways for houses should be tagged as access=private as they’re not part of the public road network.

Aside from that I mostly tidied up a few bits of geometry and added roof tags (which most people don’t bother with; don’t feel you have to; they’re useful for 3D rendering of the map, or for data collection about housing types).

Thanks for fixing the Caton FC details :)

179952926

Heya, areas like way/1489465296 look like meadow, rather than cropland, so should probably be tagged as landuse=meadow meadow=pasture (you can see animals grazing on this area in aerial imagery).

See osm.wiki/User:Gurglypipe/landuse for an overview of the consensus several local mappers have on how to tag different types of farmland in the north west. :)

Hi, welcome to OpenStreetMap and thanks for your additions to Caton. It’s nice to see some of the housing gaps here being filled in.

You’ll have noticed I made some changes after your first edit — thanks for picking up on that and learning from it. Happy to answer any questions if you have any.

One question from me — why did you change the Facebook page of Caton FC (way/1322379870) from https://www.facebook.com/profile.php/?id=61556191269660 to sheffieldjourno@gmail.com? As far as I can see, the Facebook page is still active.

Cheers

Indeed, the OSM editor does suggest changing the tags — but it’s only a suggestion. If the tag change could always be applied with certainty then it would have been applied automatically without you having to approve it. Please do check such suggestions in future and only apply them if you’re sure they’re correct (they typically are correct though). It’s fine to leave them if you’re unsure.

I’ve removed the public_transport=platform tags in changeset/179962736

Thanks for the rest of your updates here! :)

179870738

Hiya, thanks for adding some detail to Cinderbarrow!

Are you sure that things like way/549563143 should be tagged as public_transport=platform? They are a railway platform (railway=platform), but Cinderbarrow isn’t really *public* transport, so I’m not sure that tagging is appropriate? :)

Nice to see some more of the meadows being mapped, nice work :)

In fact, the roads near Coanwood were previously changed to highway=tertiary (changeset/100556040) and then those changes were reverted as invalid (changeset/100556298).
