Some boundaries can be taken from out-of-copyright maps because they haven't changed. I too would like to draw parish boundaries but I have no luck with any non-copyright source yet. I hope you find something useful.<br><div> </div>cheers, Chris<div><br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;">----- Original Message ----<br>From: Bob Hawkins <bobhawkins@waitrose.com><br>To: talk@openstreetmap.org<br>Sent: Monday, 25 August, 2008 2:45:49 PM<br>Subject: [OSM-talk] Administrative boundaries (UK)<br><br>
<style></style>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I wonder from where most people obtain their
administrative boundaries to digitise for OSM? The most prevalent source
is Ordnance Survey, but that current data is copyrighted, of course. I am
particularly interested in civil parish boundaries, then in local authority
boundaries to build up areas of interest and coverage. Can anyone
help?</font></div>
