[Talk-GB] Entrances with staircases

[SK53]

I'd look at mapping in Edinburgh where many tenement close entrances have
been mapped, although I suspect not the detail of the steps up to the main
door.

Around Langside some tenement flats are numbered consecutively with street
addresses whilst in others the whole close shares a single housenumber.
Some ground floor flats may have separate entrances, which may explain the
two styles of address assignment. Unfortunately, no-one has done detailed
addressing in the area. I also had friends who lived in Partick, but cannot
recall what form their address took.

For properties with a more significant external set of steps, here's one
example <https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3099246307> (my grandparents
flat after they split the house into 2 flats). I've not added the step
access to this <https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/4171924992> similar
conversion nearby.

I also had a go at detailed mappin
<https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1691754317#map=19/52.96668/-1.14193>g
of entrances in some social housing in Nottingham. 6 flats occupy a block
with 2 on the ground floor, and 4 spanning the 1st & 2nd floors. The former
are accessed down steps to a small courtyard, the other 4 by a bridge
across the courtyard. It is really quite painstaking stuff just for one
block and there are tens if not hundreds in the development.
