Tidying up Wedgwood Mews, which is one of those "odd" roads. It's a cul-de-sac, which passes THROUGH a building - in a manner of speaking.

The pub is the Pillars of Hercules, on Greek Street (osm.org/?lat=51.51426&lon=-0.130862&zoom=18&layers=B000FTF). The pubs' first floor joins the building next door, with the road passing under that, at ground level - weird!

I'm pretty sure this isn't the only occurrence of this in the UK, but mapping it's been interesting, to say the least. I've had to delete the original Wedgewood mews, and replace it in two parts - a tunnel for the first part, where it passes through the pub, and a normal residential road for the rest of the cul-de-sac. I've then had to connect up all the nodes to form a two-section road, and re-connect it to Greek Street.

I'm glad JOSM can allow me to do that, because there's no way that potlatch can!

Also edited the building that houses the branch of Barclays Bank, on the eastern junction of Soho Square and Greek Street. Due to a screw-up on my part earlier in the tracing project, I mistakenly logged it as an ATM! I've now cured this with a reclassification, so hopefully the next data merge should properly reflect it as a building, not an oversized ATM! Oops!
