…is called Ward Avenue and it is now back on the map. Here is the view from Moore Road, looking up the Avenue:

Those gates on the right are for a house on Moore Road and the fence straight ahead is the end of the road, which may help to show just how short this road is (there is only one house on the road; you can just see the left-hand front of the house tucked around the end on the right). On the other side of the fence on the left is Westmoore Close, and the reason that Ward Avenue has only just been re-instated onto the map is that a couple of years ago the straight bit of Westmoore was mistakenly renamed to Ward Avenue. Whoops.

I’ve talked to a few hundred people whilst mapping across the last 6 months. In all that time just two people had already heard of OpenStreetMap. The second one was Martin Dale, and I met him yesterday working outside his house on Ward Avenue. Martin was concerned because his house had been placed onto OpenStreetMap, then removed, reappeared & currently did not appear on either OpenStreetMap nor on Google maps. He was worried that there was some individual that was conducting a campaign against him. I was able to discover who had removed it (you know who you are!) and was able to send Martin an email reassuring him that no, it was an honest mistake & there is no such campaign.

Martin informed me that Ward Avenue used to be much longer, and was the service & access road for a set of Nurseries that were set up at the same time as the instigation of Porchester Gardens (approx 1880) (his own house has start_date=1929). He also knows the chap in the local history society that holds a map of all the allotments (with numbers) established in the Gardens (I think that OSM-Nottingham would like to use that).

PS
Ward Avenue is yet another Unadopted Road (there are pots & pots of these within Porchester Gardens, and pots & pots of those are off Moore Road).
