[Talk-GB] Tagging canal staircase locks

[Colin Spiller]

I can't find any advice on how to tag a staircase lock - a series of
locks directly linked to each other. The individual locks themselves are
mapped - described in the wiki at
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:lock but the group together
doesn't seem to have any standard. Or am I missing something (again!).

I found a couple of examples, e.g. Tyrley Locks at
https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/5151165013 where the name is included
as a place=locality

Is this the accepted standard? There's a huge list for England at
http://www.photographers-resource.co.uk/A_heritage/canals/Lists/lock_flights.htm
but I don't think they all qualify as staircases. Anything over about 5
locks is likely to be very spread out and not directly connected one
lock to the next.

Thanks
