    <p>Hi Yves,</p>
    <p>yes, as far as I can tell from the about 10 I have consciously
      seen, they all have a set of stairs on the outside - I presume it
      has something to do with how the milk was delivered.</p>

    <p>There are probably more characteristics, but I'm not an expert -
      this is just what I have noticed.</p>

      Building=church is not used because it's a place of worship, but
      because the building have a church architecture. <br>
      Is there something really special about creamery buildings that

          <p>I hadn't checked out Ireland on OpenHistoricalMap before,
            it seems to be empty apart from rivers. I usually come
            across creameries when I'm working on adding buildings to
            OSM and check against the British War Office map to see if
            there's anything of interest, house names, ringforts etc.
            I'm not planning of changing my efficient and industrious
            routine completely around and only map historical things.
            That cannot be my priority, when we still have 3.5million
            buildings to map.</p>
          <p>We have building=church where the church is not used as a
            place of worship any longer, but as a residence, library or
            restaurant and that's tagged and seems to be okay. Why not
            creameries?</p>
          <p>Milk is not made in a factory, it comes from a cow. It
            might be bottled in a factory, though. Unless it is
            non-dairy milk, but that's not what I'm talking about here.
            From an international, not native English speaker
            perspective, I would understand and support the preference
            for <font face="Courier New, Courier, monospace">butter_factory</font>,
            but chances are that everyone in Ireland (and the UK) is
            gonna tag them as "creamery" anyway, because that is what
            they are called there and what's in the old maps and
            potentially the name of the café it has been converted into
            or what's on the blue plaque outside it.</p>

                        <p>I'm thinking of creating a tag for historic
                          creameries. I don't know anything about modern
                          ones, they could possibly included, but the
                          situation in Ireland in the past was that
                          farmers brought their milk to the local
                          ceamery, it was skimmed and the cream made
                          into butter or cheese and the farmers took the
                          rest back home to feed to pigs or something. I
                          don't know all the technicalities, but those
                          buildings were purpose built, often still
                          recognizable by their architecture, mostly
                          vacant now, but some are converted into cafés,
                          warehouses or other commercial uses
                          apparently. </p>

                      <div>In Australia, they were often called a
