Oh yes, private streets are always a problem. In fact, I feel uncomfortable even walking down  dead end roads to survey, and so I avoid them. Usually I just record the first number, then guess the rest of the numbers on dead end streets. NLS definately would be better. That being said, who

Having surveyed thousands of addresses in SW London, I've done a quick compare and it looks pretty good to me. Sure there are the odd case here and there where buildings have changed, but for the many parts of London with Victorian to 1930s housing stock, this will be mostly accurate. Just

One of the "holes" contains the town of Kidderminster. Looking at it on the full 25" map, that sheet is from the 1921 revision, the surrounding sheets are from the 1901 revision: https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17=52.38277=-2.24342=168=7 Which may explain the holey map, as a record of

This is why I think that a tasking manager is good. Firstly, it is not exactly "wholesale" in the sense that a lot of data with little checking. Every square is mapped and then validated as well. Secondly, this is why it is imperative to check if the buildings still exist on Bing. If they do,

I've made extensive use of these tiles for numbering tasks in London E15 and E7. But you are right that more up to date material is needed. Bing gives me the more modern building outlines, and I then do some spot checks of the NLS-sourced housenumbers when I survey the newer buildings. But

Anyone care to explain what's going on here: https://geo.nls.uk/mapdata3/os/25_inch/holes_england/#holes_england_new/ol3 It displays the OSM basic map (without attribution), with some random blank patches (see for example a large area north-west of Oxford). If you zoom in on the blank

Hello, As anyone mapping in the UK knows, in most areas housenumber coverage is abysmal. For example, germany has 14 million housenumbers, USA has 10 million and the UK has about 1.6 million as of 2018.[1] Therefore, an open data source of housenumbers would make it significantly easier to
