Ditto Otley, Yorkshire (Centre of the Known and Unknown Universe) and other Yorkshire towns. And as someone asked, yes, they really addressed as Peel Terrace, Ilkley Road, Otley. I too think it important that the names should be captured and be pin-pointable by the place searcher and, later, by routing software. To me, the solution was to draw a linear way along the location of the terrace and mark it building=terrace, name=Peel Terrace. Not everyone likes it being it being a linear way and a suggestion was that it should be made an area even if the depth is just a guess. I'm in two minds about that one so I leave that to you. I see their point but then a terrace is about as deep a road.
