Hi Rob,
Contemporary OS maps showed the borough and district boundaries. The 1" New
Popular Series dates from around that time. The 6" and 25" maps are more
detailed but many didn't receive a post-war revision until the 50s. A good
selection of OS maps is on the National Library of Scotland
Like Brian, I am interested if OSM UK can do anything here. I liked his
suggestion of a vote with a minimum number of people (with work done in
advance by volunteers on both sides).
In a semi-related note: Does anyone have the admin boundaries (including
low level such as Borough and District)

Hi again,
Today the Open Data Institute (ODI) launched an invitation to tender for a

You shouldn't, it is one of our basic principles and it's here to stay.
Usually people don't say "current or real" but "verifiable on the
ground". The
I'm puzzled by this insistence that we can map only that which is
"current or real".
See for example this node:

There is absolutely nothing on the ground. And 1402 is a long time ago
to be current.
But there is a brown sign directing visitors

I missed the start of this thread (it was last month - I was nomail) but agree
with this. If OSM user's want boundaries from OSM then they can quite happily
set up a filter to
Hi,
Apologies for this: I've noticed that MapThePaths has become very laggy in
Firefox 62.0, while in 60 and 61 it worked fine unless there was a large amount
of data. Unsure of the reason but I've asked on dev in case the Leaflet
developers can give some guidance.
In the meantime, I would
