I had used the same motorway exit about a year earlier. Another user complained, pointing out that that section had been closed, and he had removed all traces from OSM. Had he left them as disused or abandoned, I wouldn't have fallen into that trap. And in effect large parts of the roadways and nearly all related buildings are still there, but unused or with changed use.<br></div></div><div id="DAB4FAD8-2DD7-40BB-A1B8-4E2AA1F9FDF2"><br>

Which makes some sense if there still is a physical separate store.<br>
And it could be useful, e.g. for someone wanting to lease it.<br>
But this one should not have the name.<br>
And it is not really a shop. I think it should somehow be tagged as<br>
retail space for lease. <br>
Because maybe it will be leased by a dentist or an accountant.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That is where the was: lifecycle prefix and notes are useful: to prevent</div><div>armchair mappers resurrecting something from imagery on the internet.</div><div>I've encountered several images on Wikimedia and Geograph of buildings</div><div>that no longer serve the purpose shown in the image.
