I've been playing with the OS OpenData Locator dataset, which contains
the XY coordinates for the ends & midpoint of many of the UK's roads.
This gazetteer appears to complement the StreetView data - some (short)
streets whose names are absent from StreetView are included in OS
Locator. Conversely, some streets named in StreetView are absent from OS
Locator.
I've come up with a relatively painless way of getting the midpoint data
into an overlay in JOSM - see the wiki for details:

If anyone can't get this working, I might be persuaded to format a
county or two - do get in touch. I can't guarantee a quick turnaround
though!
