[OSM-talk] Administrative boundaries (UK)

[Chris Hill]

I've managed to map county boundaries from signs like "Welcome to ..." and other features like it runs along a river.  Some boundaries can be taken from out-of-copyright maps because they haven't changed.  I too would like to draw parish boundaries but I have no luck with any non-copyright source yet. I hope you find something useful.

 cheers, Chris

I wonder from where most people obtain their 
administrative boundaries to digitise for OSM?  The most prevalent source 
is Ordnance Survey, but that current data is copyrighted, of course.  I am 
particularly interested in civil parish boundaries, then in local authority 
boundaries to build up areas of interest and coverage.  Can anyone 
help?
 
With regards,
