from my understanding, you should not use "addr:street" for the estate, I'd suggest "addr:place".<br>

NO ... the postal element "addr:street" is 'Weston Industrial Estate' so building a postal address from addr: elements needs that element. The adjacent road does not form part of the address.</blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>NO, if there isn't a street with this name you must not use addr:street.
