The changeset says 'add district/suburb' but Bounds Green suburb seems to be the only thing removed. Was this accidental?
-
Comment from crossmyloof
yes, forgot to change my reason - it should have been 'delete non-existent district'

Comment from trigpoint
I had heard of Bounds, I had family there when I was young and according to wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bounds_Green ) it exists. What evidence do you have to suggest otherwise?

Comment from trigpoint
Sorry, I meant Bounds Green

@crossmyloof what was your source that it doesn't exist?

Comment from crossmyloof
There is a road called Bounds Green Road but there is no evidence I can find that the area was ever called anything other than Wood Green or Bowes Park

@crossmyloof Have you actually visited the area and asked? I certainly had relatives who lived in Bounds Green.

Comment from crossmyloof
I don't believe that places/districts/suburbs etc., should be named based on anecdotal evidence.

Comment from EoghanM
I'd say @trigpoint meant that the fact that he knows of relatives living there, is grounds for further investigation, rather than grounds for restoring the suburb!
Maybe it should be mapped as a locality or neighbourhood rather than suburb? I certainly have no local knowledge. At the moment the map implies the sole entity 'Bounds Green' is a railway station, rather than the railway station being named for it's locality/suburb/town, which I think is closer to the truth? -

For info, there's also a "Bounds Green Infants School" just to the south...

Comment from EoghanM
Ya, and the road 'Bounds Green Road', so with the current situation, both of these could be taken to 'belong to' the railway station; but I don't think that's the case, ergo we should have another 'Bounds Green' entity.
