Re: [Talk-GB] Museums in Berwick-upon-Tweed

[Gregory]

Thanks for adding the note Chris.

I'm not far away by train, and was equally tempted to make a trip. I'd be
happy to meet with the person who referred it to OSMF, or others, and do a
small OSM demo/talk/chat/meetup.

For now I've added a note.

I'll leave it to you to figure out what these coordinates mean and which
museums may need to be checked



Longitude: -2.00120135375

Latitude: 55.76641149

and

Longitude: -2.00175915259

Latitude: 55.7661868566

according to 
.


However, I would suggest that 10 figure OS national grid references 
could only have come from a council database based on OS data, so may 
not be usable.  They are precise to 1 square metre.


The objects that best match are: 
 and 
.

Re: [Talk-GB] Museums in Berwick-upon-Tweed

[Stuart Reynolds]

Use  DEFRA’s “Magic” map, which allows you to stick coordinates in in a wide 
variety of formats, and more importantly provides tools for seeing where a 
place is in a wide variety of different referencing systems.

You can find it here: http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx

Specifically, entering “NU000525” (OS six figure refs, so lose a little 
precision) gives the museums at Fisher’s Fort in Berwick 
(http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1792339349)

and for the adjacent NT999525 refers to 
http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/71319888

Hi,

   someone from Berwick-upon-Tweed has written to the OSMF board, mainly
to ask if it is ok to use our map in a local history book, but along the
side pointed out two issues with the map:

"The two Museum symbols at NU 00023 52563 and NT 99988 52538 are no
longer relevant as the museums closed several years ago and the area is
now private housing."

I'll leave it to you to figure out what these coordinates mean and which
museums may need to be checked ;)

Bye
Frederik
