FWIW, Google and Bing don’t understand it either! Friends of ours have an address of the format:
1 Cherry Cottages Lime Avenue Cranleigh (not a real address, although the town is real enough!) Bing gave me the equivalent of 1 Lime Avenue, which was at least in the right town, while Google gave me 1 Cherry Cottages (or thereabouts) but in a town over an hour away!

Contrast this with the Dutch address model: Street, Housenumber (numeric), Housenumber Extension (alphanumeric), Postcode (9999XX) and Town. Probably much the same in Belgium and Germany too. //colin _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
