[Talk-GB] Notes for places removed from FHRS?

[Dave F]

Hi Andrew

I wouldn't use FHRS:ID as the be all & end all. It doesn't mean they've 
closed down. On the ground verification is required. Depending on a 
local authority's preferences, existing companies changing a name, or a 
manager can trigger a new ID. Schools becoming academies in my area were 
given new ones.

When a business closes down I fully delete the FHRS:ID. If a new one 
opens in the same premises I add the available data for it. This doesn't 
usually include FHRS, at first, as a premises has to be open for a while 
to gain a worthwhile rating.

Comment on SK53:
It's been agreed by many that OSM is not a historical store, but a 
record of what's currently there. Imagine how clogged the database would 
become if all historical data was retained or even added, as some wish 
to do. (I live in a Roman City, it would be a complete mess)

Cheers
