Re: [Talk-gb-westmidlands] [Talk-GB] Drinking Map of UK

Jon Bounds (@bounder on Twitter) used OSM to render a map of all the pubs in Birmingham - nothing else, just the pub names. There were obvious gaps in Bournville and Edgbaston. It was shown in an art exhibition he curated, at the newly re-opened MAC. Prints were also available to buy. -- Andy
