Chester, about the same size city, was all tagged and named last July. 
But the quality of the Cambridge map is much higher and is a better 
advertisement for the project. It is interesting to see how the project 
has developed since then. In July the use of areas was just beginning, 
while they are common today and make the maps more attractive.  My 
current mapping includes several features I didn't record then - the old 
work really needs to be augmented. It is difficult to say that mapping 
is ever 'complete'.

My congratulations to David Earl on a piece of high quality mapping.

Time for somewhere more grimy?
