My local branch is a Laura Ashley Home and branded as such. http://www.mapillary.com/map/im/u08Hvnyzpex1Z6OmilaKjw/photo (On the left)

A difficulty could be that editing apps suggest that it is 'incorrect' and needs updating. Some chains make it easier by having a sub-brand like "Laura Ashley Home", but clearly some do not. I curse the real world for refusing to fit itself into our categorisation scheme! :D On Fri, Dec 20, 2019 at 8:53 AM Stuart Reynolds <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I may be wrong, but I believe that there were some home (furniture) shops that didn’t sell clothing, and some years ago my family would reliably buy wallpaper from Laura Ashley which had the traditional Laura Ashley design on it. So that would seem to back up the “interior_decoration” tag. So I don’t know that you can necessarily generalise without a survey of each store - although I agree that clothing is probably the most likely for most cases these days. Not that I’ve been in one for quite some time! Regards, Stuart On 20 Dec 2019, at 07:25, Jez Nicholson <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Thanks for consulting. Even if you don't get a huge response (like with The Range) it is good to get wider opinion. With The Range I simply didn't know so had no response. A short poll in my household (myself + my wife) concluded: "Laura Ashley is a clothing store that happens to also sell furniture" On Fri, 20 Dec 2019, 00:52 Silent Spike, <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: I'm a UK based maintainer of the name suggestion index <https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Name_Suggestion_Index> and would like to get this brand added. Unfortunately it's not so obvious how it should be tagged and I'm not comfortable making a tagging judgement call alone without consulting the UK community. My last thread of this nature for The Range didn't attract many responses, but some input is always better than none and it allowed me to get that brand into the index knowing that if consensus changes then the tagging can easily be updated in OSM. Here's the Laura Ashley website and Wikipedia page for those unaware of this chain: https://www.lauraashley.com/en-gb https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Ashley_plc It looks like currently there are: * 44 shop=clothes * 20 shop=furniture * 15 shop=interior_decoration * 4 shop=houseware * 1 shop=home_furnishing * 1 shop=fabric * 1 shop=fashion This makes sense as it seems that furniture and clothing are the main items sold. The tagging alone seems to suggest `shop=clothing` is favoured more - does this seem reasonable or do you think another tagging is more suitable? _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb -- Tom Hughes ([email protected]) http://compton.nu/ _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
