Questions, answered briefly

What is Spring enclosure?

A plaque in the open map’s record of Christchurch, standing in Christchurch Central.

Where does Spring enclosure stand?

In Christchurch Central, the pin is the map’s own position. The register keeps no listed place within 300m of it.

Is the pin on the map exact?

It’s OpenStreetMap’s position, a surveyed-looking point, but a volunteer map’s one. Nearby ground and register places are neighbours, not the same record.

The record behind this

The position and the tags are OpenStreetMap’s, a named node or way tagged memorial or artwork inside the city boundary (ODbL). The maker, material and date fields are the mapper’s own, kept verbatim; a listing is a lead, not a catalogue record.
