Sorry for the long-delayed follow-up.

Thank you.  I was, finally, about to update along similar lines, and 
also add a couple in my immediate area, but...

Indeed there are several so it would be best to follow the pattern, and 
I now see this is documented at 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Parcel_lockers_in_the_United_Kingdom

On the way to "vending machine" I discovered there's button in iD which 
fills the tags.  Good.

I ran a query and found there are also two nodes in the UK with 
amenity=parcel_pickup.  These don't seem to conform to accepted practice 
but without further information it's probably wrong to amend them.

There is also a proposal for amenity=parcel_lockers 
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Parcel_lockers_and_parcel_postbox. 
  This has been used twice in the Glasgow area and a few times in Europe, 
but not as widely as the existing convention.

So I've learnt quite a bit from your (and others')  response.  Many 
thanks.
