Questions, answered briefly

What is Roydon Quarry?

A named quarry in Christchurch, at Templeton, as the open map records it.

Where exactly is Roydon Quarry?

The pin is OpenStreetMap’s own position for the quarry, the pit’s mapped outline or its middle. Neighbours on the register are near it, not the same record.

The record behind this

The position and the names are OpenStreetMap’s, a named cliff, rock, reef or quarry inside the city boundary (ODbL). The dual names and the crag names are recorded as the map carries them; a pin is the mapper’s position, not a surveyed mark.
