Lineage

The data is currently sourced from three sources: 1. OS Large Scale Content We've provided national coverage of the Road Network and the associated attribution and detailed routing information. This covers all of Great Britain. 2. National Street Gazetteer GeoPlace provides Ordnance Survey with the National Street Gazetteer for England and Wales. The National Street Gazetteer is created through the compiling of 174 Local Street Gazetteers (LSGs) and the Trunk Road Street Gazetteer (TRSG). The TRSG provides the authoritative information about the road and path network. 3. Scottish Street Gazetteer Improvement Service provides Ordnance Survey with the Scottish Street Gazetteer, which is created through compiling local street gazetteers in Scotland.
