Suffice to say, I have made my first edit, which is to add the Steam café & Discovery Centre to the Map. I have also found a nice guide on how to edit. I will endeavour to add more. Furthermore, I also added the music shop next door as this is no longer Lucky Dip, as it has changed hands, but no new shop name has been added to the front of the shop.

I have recently made some more updates, mostly around two local schools changing use.

  1. Devon School of English is now Preston Bridge School
  2. Tower House School is now St Michael's CE Primary School

I have updated the map and added some notes. Details can be found on my OSM profile

The project would really benefit from some local help, as it is better for one person to create a note and then have a 2nd person resolve this, that way there are some checks / balances to the contributions to ensure accuracy.
