The problem with this is that when I then do a search for "Myrtle Grove, Roddymoor" nothing is returned. Nominatim finds nothing. Try this with another street in the village "High Terrace, Roddymoor" and it will be found because the road is tagged not just the buildings. Yet to confuse things further type try "1 Ivy Crescent, Roddymoor" and the house is found yet the road isn't tagged ideally which you could see by typing "Ivy Crescent, Roddymoor" Other streets like "East Terrace, Roddymoor" don't return the street because again only the building outlines are tagged. This then lead me to test postcodes which I have added for some of the streets where I knew them. Searching for those doesn't take me to the actual street, which I was surprised about. Even though I tagged them ages ago I had never tried searching postcodes. A search for East Terraces postcode of "DL15 9QZ" returns nothing other than 1 house seperate from the main street. Even though all of East Terrace have postcodes entered. Maybe I remember now why I paused adding roads and buildings and stuck to footpaths.
