[Talk-gb-westmidlands] Listed Bdgs map on Mapbox

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

Well, having worked some more on cleaning and populating the data - guess
what? The data is by no means complete or accurate. It's pretty good -
probably about 95% complete and 95% accurate. It's just the usual annoying
"almost perfect but not quite there" that we come to expect from government
data sources. There are listed buildings missing, listed buildings about
100m from where they should be, out -of -date descriptions of buildings,
and listed buildings shown where there are in fact none. So treat with the
slight caution the data deserves.

I've added listed parks and gardens as green markers , and I'm going to
play around with adding blue plaques and public artworks

So now  there's no excuse as you go about surveying and mapping to taking a
camera with you and snapping listed buildings to populate the underlying
database.;-) Try not to take portrait shots of tall buildings like churches
as currently they get terribly distorted.

I'll set up a shared photos folder somewhere so you can upload them. As
long as you name them unambiguously I can attach them to the correct record.

Regards

Brian
