Gartree hundred

Posted by morwen on 14 October 2007 in English.

In Leicester this weekend. Finished the Leicester suburban villages of Scraptoft, Thurnby, and Bushby, and did some more of Evington. Found all sorts of twiddly bits in Thurnby that we didn't know existed. Annoyingly 2036,1341 seems to be stuck in queue, although 2035,1341 - with far more stuff on it - has updated fine.

Also did a footpath, that I remember from my childhood, over fields between Evington and Thurnby. I always wondered where exactly it went. Well, I know now. Quite a short walk, and my lift had arrived at the other end only barely before I arrived (having gone the long way round).

Tagged various random county boundaries as well - Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire/South Yorkshire variously. This is traced from the NPE. Have been careful around Sheffield, since this has changed since the 1950s there - probably needs someone to survey this on the ground if possible. There is a variance around Finningley, also. Eventual aim with these boundaries is to allow the namefinder to know about them, so "pubs in Rutland" will do what you expect (without needing is_in tags filled in).
