Hi list,
On Saturday, the wife & I went to have a look at a local (Stoke on

Hi people,
I'd like to make some street atlases using OSM data. Has anyone
created a script/program to do this automatically? If not, I might
have a go at writing something myself, but I thought I'd see if anyone
else has done it first.
Basically, I'd like to feed it a .osm file, and have i

During all the discussion about OS OpenData, it was suggested that
anything derived from OS data should be surveyed on the ground at a

Hi,
I'm intending to map the bottle kilns in Stoke on Trent. For those that

industry). There are 47 now, and just under half are currently mapped.

Right, I'm now thinking I'll tag as:
building=bottle_kiln
kiln=pottery
disused:man_made=kiln
former_product=pottery
historic=kiln
and add tourism=museum where appropriate.
Ideally
I'd have the building as a way.
Then the kiln as a node with the product.
This allows the building to remain 'intact

Elsewhere, someone suggested using kiln=bottle_kiln and building=industrial
