Within Central Bedfordshire this road is known as Little Barford Road; Barford Road is the section within Bedford Borough. This has been confirmed with reference to the two authorities' adopted highways maps
2~ 12 days agoclosedThingummy

OK Central Bedfoord is Little Barford Road, However properties such as the Little Barford STW and Biffa waste have Barford road addresses. Precisely where it changes is difficult to know, and I haven't access to Bedford definitive map. Post code finder strangely has no Little Barford Road addresses at all and does not use the road name.. In fact most of the addresses on this road in bedford or bedfordshire have no road name, but that is not unusual for a rural area. Have changed names to what we know.

There are 3 very short sections in the road of this roundabout that are named Charing Cross. All the other sections were renamed to King Charles I Island. If that is correct (see below), were those just forgotten? Section 1: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/49796163 Section 2: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/43118734 Section 3: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/4256531 I'm not even sure if it should have been renamed to (only) King Charles I Island. It's not indicated that way on lots of maps. But if that is correct, leaving these 3 short sections with the old name seems wrong. It was edited on 10 December 2025 with reference to "According to how Knowledge of London calls it.". Changeset: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/175777381 But I couldn't find that reference when looking up Knowledge of London and that street. I could only find various Knowledge of London related websites talking about the island using that name, but not specifically the road.

Is there any signage? That is what we should be mapping. If signage about the island is only on the island side of the road, then it should probably be applied to the island rather than the road. If there is signage on the outside of the road, then it should be applied to the road. If there is no signage then it is at least arguable whether it should be mapped at all, but if the name if the island is well known then sensible logic would be to map it to the island only but revert the road around it to its original name.
3~ 3 months agocommentedharg
♦4,304
But a web search finds: No results found for "King Charles I Island" and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestrian_statue_of_Charles_I,_Charing_Cross gives the address as Charing Cross rather than KC1 Island. So I think the name of the island is de-facto NOT well known so the change should probably be reverted.

The Royal Bank of Scotland (south west corner adjacent to what is marked Whithall) has the official address of 49 Charing Cross Road. A brief look at old O/S maps eg 1965 show Charing cross as from maybe Spring gardens across to Northumberland Avenue, maybe dipping down Whitehall, withan old road configuration. So my gut feeling is the south line of the roundabout should be Charing Cross. or at least alt_name . Unless some one has a more definitive map or signs.

The changeset justification for calling the iskand's highway King Charles seems to be entirely bogus. I found "Knowledge of London Points List Edition 6 July 2026" at https://content.tfl.gov.uk/knowledge-of-london-points-list.pdf. The phrase King Charles does NOT appear anywhere in it. So unless there is official evidence of some sort (not obtained from third party maps) the name should revert to Charing Cross for its entire circumference. Without signage, there might possibly be grounds for naming https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/111971259/ (ie, the traffic island not the highway around it) as King Charles I Island. That would make the phrase searchable for anybody who believes it, without falsifying the name of the highway around it. unless there is installed street signage with that name, or an official press release from TFL or

My mistake RBS should be just Charring Cross, Not Charing Cross Road. I realise it is technically copyright, but the map which accompanies the Statue on the Heritage England site has the road area to the south of the island marked Charing Cross, that to the north Trafalgar Square. (Based on OS Vector). No mention of the Charles 1 as a road name. https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1357291?section=overview Maybe keep as add as name or loc_name of pedestrian area

Node history shows it to be the name of a (former?) bicycle docking station. Is the docking station still here? Most of the tags are preceded by was: If it has gone, then the name should also change to old_name or perhaps the node (last edited 2022) should now be deleted.

♦1,596
i think this still needs a #surveyme . i agree the strip between two parcels is a likely candidate on the face of it. militating against, the path as now mapped appears to go through an attached garage, and through a circular thing that could be a trampoline in the back garden. the driveway at the front of the property appears to include the width of both the main house parcel and the strip, with a barrier between it and the next house but no sign of one separating the “footpath parcel” (which I think is closed each end? another point against) so i while i think your interpretation is plausible and definitely possible , it doesn’t reach the level of “likely”, for me

I'd like to do this, however published longitude and latitude of practically everything on the flooding service map is around 100m off from where it should be, due to them converting approximate UK grid refs to world coordinates. (In this case the coordinates are in a field, or a built up area, depending on source.) I suspect they do it intentionally (stories of people augmenting rain gauges with pee etc). I could put the rain gauge data in with the building tags, I suppose. Unless you can tell me the precise location.

Is this road Paxton Hill I think it is marked wromg.
2~ 2 months agocommentedeteb3
♦1,596
Paxton Hill is given as an alt_name. It's the same road - the question is where it becomes Paxton Hill. The web generally has the industrial site being on "Paxton Hill", as does OS Open. This far out of town I doubt there are signs, but might be worth a survey. Otherwise it's probably a question of local custom and usage as to where the names are allocated. Or there really are two names in use: "It's on the Huntingdon road" "whereabouts?" "On Paxton Hill". Maybe worth asking the original tagger on the changesets ?
3~ 1 month agoclosedThingummy

Post code finder has the farm and industrial estate as paxton hill, and the Sewage works is officially listed as Huntingdon Road by Anglian water, so I have gone with that as where it changes.

♦3,862
I wouldn't use viewpoint (even if misspelt!) for places where birders assemble looking for rare birds. Places like Blakeney (whole North Norfolk coast really & Spurn further North) are most popular during Autumn migration & especially if weather conditions are right for a "fall" (rare migrants diverted across North Sea and arrive exhausted). I don't know how busy it is at other times. Clearly these are local names used by those in the know (birders) and not general names. For instance they aren't on OS maps. I think loc_name is more appropriate and have commented on the original changeset as well.
12~ 2 months agocommentedThingummy
♦191
You are probably right about using viewpoint=, but I was following the Wiki, although Taginfo shows no use in GB. As for names, there are no official or local names in the area as the rate of change of the topography and colonisation means there is very little fixed to name. So if someone wants to find a location, any identifiable feature, including this first colonisation by trees it is useful. None of the near by names are on any maps new or old. It has a wikimedia page, a Geograph page, and is on Cleybirdclub.org.uk 's sketch map. I gave up counting when i got to 20 distinct websites mentioning it from a google search.
13~ 2 months agocommentedSK53

Oh yes birders locations will crop up on a lot of websites (especially if used for reporting sightings). However they tend to be names used by those 'in the know', rather than general ones. It can be very confusing trying to match birders reports in an unfamiliar location (although this may have lot easier over the past 20 years). So I'm in favour of having the names, but not sure if the name tag is best. On the other point I suspect the wiki is plain wrong. Bird hides and other birding locations are not in general viewpoints in the accepted tourism sense. A few locations (notably narrow straights & mountain passes) are called "raptor niewpoints".

I've tagged it as neighborhood; Name=Rutland Manor, as thete appears to be more workshops and houses than I would expect for just a farm, and I don't know what is farm and what is something else.. My interpretation is that all place=* tags are meaningless without a name=* tag as in the wiki. - building=Farm, building=farm_auxiliary, landuse=Farmyard landuse=residential etc can be added if you know which buildings are which.

4~ 7 months agoclosedThingummy
♦191
Can't see anything wrong. (I've added a centre line to be precise, but that's a bit pedantic) I guess you are concerned that Inserting the weir split the circular "nature reserve boundary" and "waterarea boundary" into three parts. Then the system recombines the borders automatically into a line "relation". That is normal. Once you have a relation it is more difficult to edit, as it doesn't want you to leave orphan bits of relation behind, so you simply have to remove the relation tag whilst you edit, then replace it. (PS will be using the border relation as a quick way to create land use when I get around to it, so it will come in useful)
