" Royal Mail grid reference every post box " Erm, a request made under the Freedom of Information Act only returned textual descriptions (usually names of roads, often a side road it is 'near'). I believe Hull has been very hard to find postboxes from this list. If there is grid reference data for every post box, then Royal Mail may have broken the FoI Act. Although my information may be out of date, or slightly wrong.
"Mr Willis photographs the base to record the manufacturer’s name and logs a grid reference on a map" Hmm, maybe he is making the grid referenced database? I wrote this blog post a while back, which is good to reference if you talk to someone about OSM & Postboxes. http://www.livingwithdragons.com/2009/06/my-postbox-obsession On 11 May 2012 13:49, Rob Nickerson <rob.j.nicker...@gmail.com> wrote: > Heard about this on the radio.
