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.
