The name of the tertiary road through Eyam is very confusing. Clear signposts exist for "Church Street" just to N of junction with New Close and adjacent to The Square at the E end. Shops in Eyam Hall Craft Centre have a street address of "Main Road". This may be a description rather than a name, applying to the point where Town Head or Townhead starts.OS Locator and other OS tools are not that useful.

There's a newish PRoW on the Derby CC dataset from rowmaps continuing track & crossing river here.

Seems unlikely as path would need to cross the river Derwent and the Midland Main Line. Save Penny Lane named as one could once use this path and then cross the river using a ford to avoid the toll bridge but the bridge owner destroyed the ford and deepened the river to stop this am not aware of any new bridges or fords. Cycled along Duffield Bank and did not notice any footpath signs to Duffield here. There is a parish boundary here that joins and crosses the river.
3~ 8 years agocommentedDave Venables
♦1,257
Had a look at the "byway open to all traffic" marked on rowmaps that does not cross the railway and terminates in the cricket club grounds after crossing the river. Route marked may be close to the original path and ford not used by the public for more than 100 years. Farmer has signs at the junction of Save Penny Lane and Duffield Bank saying no access to riverbank for anglers and suggesting a very long way round. No public footpaths signs. Not in use as a path other than by the farmer as far as I can tell. Am not aware of any river crossing where marked on rowmaps but an ancient historical right may exist as there was once a ford.
4~ 7 years agocommentedSK53

Had a long chat with a lady from the Millennium Meadow last Saturday (10th Nov). Apparently the ford at bottom of Save Penny Lane was one of three, and there is some talk of a bridge hereabouts too.

This should still be accessible, it's a byway to all traffic yet completely blocked at Save Penny lane entrance. Should this be mapped as a prow even if BOAT 53 & 148 are blocked by land owner?
7~ 1 month agocommentedSK53
♦3,862
Broadly speaking no! It might just mislead someone to go there only to discovered it's blocked etc. I believe there's no trace of the ford as river flow has scoured it away. We actually have quite a good understanding of the status of this BOAT, perhaps a less good understanding as to how to tag it given all the practical aspects.
8~ 1 month agocommentedmappermondayDept of Agriculture vs ancient desire-path, go forth and legislate. Was an old, fairly busy village link until the main road moved West (pre-A6 days, hence Milford's bend). Also confirm its ford faded last Century, adding to beaches downstream. Used to be crayfish, still does kingfishers.

Interesting. I know we map the 'ground truth' but here https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/public-rights-of-way-tagging-when-there-is-no-navigable-path/137902/29 and the wiki imply that the definitive map is just that and legal access should be mapped, with physical access tagged to better describe it's ground truth.
10~ 1 month agocommentedmappermondayBah humbug, definitive's gone digital, transcription errors steadily embedded, e.g. my address recorded in five different ways. Had to get an OS job just to reduce it to two, am still pursued for phantom TV licences. Also, that younger A6 shifted a further 100yds West for the railways. And while Save Penny Lane stays occasionally used by discrete couples or late-night drunks, its upper access closed pre mid-50s. Tag reads: Git orf my land!

See my personal views based on trying to follow rights of way in Carmarthenshire back in 2011: http://sk53-osm.blogspot.com/2011/07/footpaths-in-carmarthenshire-whats-point.html Personally I add a designation tag, but no highway or access tags. One I reported to the Leicestershire RoW officer has a stile buried deep in a fence & several farm buildings obstructing the line. From their viewpoint this was a WON'T FIX. I don't think its helpful to mislead people that something is viable rather than viability being a legal fiction.
12~ 1 month agocommentedmappermondayQuite agree, fun's risky fictions, some boundaries argued, others explored. Ol' Save Penny's a rare ramble only for those up for it, many paths more travelled come freely available and popularly accessible. Though, on a bad day, the one along Spurn leads into the sea, ill-advised after dark on an unlit bicycle.

The actual library (mainly very old books) is in the college building front St Andrew's St (requires librarian to supervise access, mainly for scholarly - non-undergraduate - purposes). There also used to be a Law Library on the ground floor (with fairly extended opening hours for undergrads). The building currently marked as the library is mainly a work area for undergraduates with a fairly limited set of books). Might all be moot because there's a planning application to replace this early '70s building). Main point is the location of library icon is incorrect/misleading)

The Nottingham Trent University Brackenhurst Campus is much larger than current mapping suggests (including working farmland). I suspect all roads in the campus should be treated as permissive service roads rather than unclassified. There is an extensive signed network of permissive paths through the campus too.

♦3,862
Doesn't include university farmland, but am also uncertain whether it should. This situation applies to pretty much all agriculture schools (and agriculture research institutes). So places like Sutton Bonington; Aber (Bangor); RAC, Cirencester, Rothampstead; Allerton Project, Loddington, Leicestershire etc. Income the past these might have been mappable as a farm with the name "University Farm" but many now have quite extensive academic buildings (e.g., Aber). Cambridge, of course, have scrapped their farm and built Edfington on it. The signed permissive path network extends across the farmed areas. I haven't checked if named fields have an operator tag.

Seems a bit odd to have 2 bridleways leaving the road so close together. Suspect these might be duplicates. No obvious line on aerial imagery for one to E (most recently added): is this a difference between actual route & RoW mapping?

I see you tagged the wester one source:designation=survey (signs at crossing of tertiary road) I assume that means the jcn S of Wright's Lodge Fm? If so, is it possible the wester track is an error and the easter one is correct? Both added about the same time, but I can't easily see in iD which came first.
4~ 2 months agocommentedeteb3
♦1,596
No, because source: applies only to the designation, not to the route.
5~ 2 months agocommentedSK53
♦3,862
Yes, I only added the designation, so point on A606 could be wrong. The W path was added well before the E one. Stan_W was the rights of way officer for Leicestershire Ramblers, so pretty knowledgeable. There's a photo on Geograph showing a gate accessing the bridleway in 2011, but I can't find it with Bing Streetside (no Mapillary data). Strata heatmap may help.
6~ 2 months agocommentedeteb3
♦1,596
I think the meeting point at the A606 is where I've set a gate. You can just make out a beaten path / statutory clearance in the two Esri images. I've put the gate there as I can't see that it would be anywhere other than the end of the flattened path. That's also consistent with the camera angle in the photo: we see mostly the western face of the western range of the horseshoe farm buildings, but also a bit of the eaves end of both ranges; and the wester range does not entirely obscure the easter one, maybe 10-15% of which projects into view. There appears to be no break in the hedge where the easter route is currently shown as joining the road, so the curve southwards would seem to be incorrect. Which is all great fun, but I'm not sure it answers the question of whether the wester route is there at all. Strava is not much help: there is activity along the wester route where it runs near enough exactly E-W, S of Wright's Lodge Fm and W of the join with the easter route, but the traces seem to bend NW from there, tracking the edge of the field, then disappear (possibly a horse rider based at the farm with "hide my home" set on Strava.)

It's marked on Andy Townsend's PRoW map, too: does that mean it can be included in OSM now?
3~ 2 months agocommentedSK53
♦3,862
I think you can, but it's not much use as it doesn't connect with anything (probably why Leics CC didn't put a sign up). I've tidied up the path to the S because Bing Streetside shoes the gap in the hedge. The layer on Andy's map is actually rowmap's data, filtered by ODbL compatible licenses. Layer was built by Richard Fairhurst and is the same one included by editors (and data source used by Robert Whittaker's mathmos site). This location was the furthest I reached when 4 of us spent a day surveying footpaths around Scalford. I did some back to fill in gaps towards Waltham.

Thanks. I've added it to satisfy my inner completion heuristic. If you think it's better de-prioritised, feel free to remove the highway tag, so just the designation remains.

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
♦3,862
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".

Not sure the development name "Willoughby Gardens" still applies, unless there's some explicit signage remaining (as on Martin's Reach).
24549931~ 5 years agoopened---Callaway Gardens has not been plotted in the correct location as the aerial footage on Bing Maps is from when it was a hospital 10 years ago. The road from the entrance off Hospital Road goes up to roughly level with 12 Leighton Gardens, then bends round to roughly by the marker, then straightens out to roughly parallel with the Butts and heading for the garage between 82 and 97 Studland Park. The ultimate layout of the estate is roughly as drawn, except it needs to be further to the east - the eastern part is much closer to Studland Park (the whole site includes the paler land in a line from the existing grey area to roughly level with the edge of 93 Studland Park). The garden area in the middle is also not a 'communal park', its really not that big! Sorry, but I do not have the skills or technology to edit this myself, but if you take a look at the OS map or the planning application map you can see what I mean.
2~ 5 years agocommentedSK53

4~ 5 years agocommentedAlanandKateHi - I added the original comment... the April 20 update to the OS layer linked to in the last comment above includes blocks for the properties that run along the part of the road that is roughly parallel to The Butts towards the garage between 82 and 97 Studland Park. The property numbers (from the first block) are 15, 17, 19, 21, then 23, 25 and 27, then 29, 31 and 33, and finally 35 and 37 (the block nearest Studland Park). The front gardens are very short, only one car length to the road. So if the road could just be moved to the right and down as per my initial comment, that would be great. The 90-degree angle where the road changes to a NE direction is in front of number 35 which is the left-hand portion of the final property block on the OS April 20 addition. A friend did take an aerial shot from a hang glider, that shows the layout, but I have no way to submit that. Hope this additional comment helps.
5~ 5 years agocommentedSK53
♦3,862
Thanks for the additional information. I'd forgotten another recent source of open data (UPRNs: unique property numbers) which are often assigned before houses are built. The location of those together with your description should reasonably locate 15-35. Working on a theory of mine I've also added 37-61, but am aware some of these may not yet be built (or at least occupied). I've also added additional uprns (presumably for even-numbered houses). Let me know of any corrections needed. (You may need to refresh your browser to see the most up-to-date info) Jerry
6~ 3 years agocommentedAlanandKateHello. Please can I ask someone with the skills to update Callaway Gardens (don't know if you are still around Jerry - apologies for delay in coming back to this!)? The layout at the entrance is still wrong, as per my comments from December 2020. You can actually see the correct layout now in the layer OS OpenMap Local - October 2022. Note - Google has the road wrong as it adds an extra offshoot at the entrance, and also shows the road continuing past numbers 35/37 (which it doesn't). Also please can the reference to water drainage and park be removed - they are erroneous and are just very poor landscaping (the plans etc bear no resemblance to what is actually constructed here), no difference to any other new build estate! Much better to leave as the background pale grey colour. The properties are all built and occupied (have been for over a year now). They can all be seen on the Google Maps aerial photo (sorry if that's not allowed). As an aside - the properties 39 to 45 are the same size as each other. Properties 47 to 61 are all detached. There is a gap between properties 34-38 and the next terrace 40-44. I'm happy to submit a personal aerial photos, if there is a way for me to do so.
7~ 3 years agocommentedAlanandKateAlso do you show all roadways, or only adopted roads? if the latter, then you should remove the section of road between numbers 33 and 35, and in front of numbers 63 to 69 (in the south west corner)

Sure I'll take a look. There should be aerial imagery now, as I was really creating the stuff from your description and various odd (and I mean odd) bits of data. In general we show both adopted roads and service roads. In the context of a new build estate usually only shared driveways where how to get to a house would be non-obvious, and they are mapped with a tag which indicates they aren't public roads.

The link detached houses are still incorrectly mapped. They are not terraces. I've tweaked the road & amended house types ; all the terraced houses were .apoed as terraces.
11~ 2 months agocommentedAlanandKateHi, as per my note 3744840, the terrace block containing properties 6, 8, 10, 12, should be exactly the same size and shape as the terrace block containing properties 14, 16, 18, 20. Other than that, the estate is now looking a lot better, and very close to what is actually on the ground.

@SK54 I think JOSM must have automatically tagged the buildings as terraced when I split them; sorry about that. @AlanandKate when viewing 6-12 in the editor they seem to have the same proportions as 14-20, but are taking a while to update on the map - if you press Edit at the top left your screen next to the open street map logo you should be able to see a more up to date view.

I've had mixed results with them. A few years ago (pre-Covid) they were quite active with making claims. But 15 years ago they were completely dismissive of OSM (and clearly, at the time, all retired). The Ramblers are the other group likely to be able to so something. Not sure how active they are locally.

I would assume it provides access to the rear gardens of the houses (often for household bins).
