Thanks Brian, that's great - as I mentioned before, it would be good
to have some "before and after" screenshots (of the rendered map, not
the editor) so that lay-people can appreciate the improvement. It will
no doubt be helpful to show potential funders such comparisons when
trying to secure money for aerial imagery elsewhere.

   *   The new Trinity Road Stand at villa Park does overhang the
road,and rests on pillars on the far side of it..

   *   The NIA car park is 90% under the building.

   *   There are buildings in Fleet Street which /partially/ overhang
the canal, but nowhere do they fully cover it. I'll have a look at the
map; and take some ground-level photos, if that will help.

   *   Simon Gray may be able to assist with canal terminology;
otherwise there's http://uk.groups.yahoo.com/group/CanalScapeBCN/
whose embers are very knowledgable.
