[OSM-talk] Old villages

[Chris Hill]

Hi all,
I've been travelling around my local area and I've discovered that few hamlets added from NPE are now not inhabited any more.  Most have just become a single farm.  The council diligently put up place name boards for villages when the widely disliked Humberside was partly replaced by The East Riding of Yorkshire, even on some very small places, but not on the places I have in mind.  So, to make OSM a reflection of the current state as I found it I want to remove these hamlets but mark them as some form of historic place so they're not lost (or added again!), but I don't see such a tag.  The nearest seems old_name=...  but this seems to be when a place is renamed.

Any suggestions?
 
cheers, 
Chris
