[Talk-GB] Tagging showgrounds

Tue Feb 25 00:22:34 UTC 2020

Since I was going through these anyway to see what ought to be rendered 
at map.atownsend.org.uk, I thought I might as well list them here too.  
These are things "tagged a bit like showgrounds, excluding bus stops and 
car parks", sorted by one of the main tags.

I suspect that the ones tagged just "place", "landuse=grass" or 
"tourism=attraction" only probably need some other tag to say "this is a 
showground".   "events_venue" might be a misunderstanding of what that 
tag was for.  "recreation_ground" may be correct in some cases but I 
suspect isn't in many others. "park" I'd be similarly surprised if it 
was often correct.  In most or all cases it probably needs a local to 
make the call, though...

(there are more of these - look for bus stops tagged "showground" to 
find them!)
