</div>Forgive me if you understand about the NPE out of copyright maps<br>
that can be overlaid in Potlatch or GSM editors, but could the data<br>
have been added from them. It might explain why one of the<br>
boundaries is outdated.<br>
<br>
I'm trying to look at the history of the stuff in the Bramley area<br>
(which I'm guessing is the area in question?) in Potlatch at present<br>
but the server connection keeps failing.<br>
<br>
I've just had a look in JOSM but don't know which features you're<br>
thinking of. Perhaps you could give us a permalink to an area<br>
including some of the data you're doubting.<br>
