[Talk-GB] [Talk-scotland] Tagging of roads with adjacent named terraces

[Berrely]

 What I did here <https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/51.54499/-0.17552>
was that I drew pavements and tagged them with names, in addition to
tagging addressed with addr:parentstreet. Shopping parades and separately
named terraces don't really have any conventions yet, annoyingly.
