Over and Willingham

The two large villages of Over and Willingham are on the outer edge of South Cambridgeshire, biunded by the River Ouse to the north. Over was partly done, but turned out not very well. There were several incorrect street names and there was a lot less done than I had thought from looking at the map. So I completed Over, and then did the rather larger village of Willingham, which had only the two through roads already present. The hamlet of Overcote is around the corner from Over on a long dead end road out to the river, where NPE marks a now long-gone ferry to the Pike & Eel pub on the other bank.

This is the first time I've encounteed any hostility mapping. I had a nasty man in maroon overalls threaten to set his dogs on me for having the presumption to come down his road, Mere Way in Willingham. And Willingham is completely swamped with cars - there's an unbeliveable amount of traffic for such a small village.
