Comment from Chris Fleming
Hi I just wanted to welcome you to OpenStreetMap - I've been trying to find a way of validating this edit - But I just wanted to check how you know there is a pond here.
As it's very unusual to see ponds in tenement gardens?
Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Chris!
Sorry for the delay in my reply and thank you for the welcome. Ponds are pretty rare but my neighbour has been building one for a while (poorly!) and I thought it might be nice to add it for some local colour! I must confess I am not 100% if I marked the right bit, the google pics didn't show it very well (I am not sure how up to date they are) and so I picked what looked a bit like the liner he had, although he since has swapped that out anyway!
Apologies if this was wrong, I have just discovered the site and thought it'd be fun to add a small point that not many folk would know about. Honestly I like bird watching and ponds etc are useful to know about for that (not that you want bird watchers tramping through your tenement I suppose!).
Let me know if I should delete this until it shows up 100% on google maps - sorry for the trouble.
Cheers!
Tom
P.S. this is very addicting, I spent a while this weekend going out specifically for a walk in an area not too well mapped in the hope I could add some detail :-)

No problem with the delay at all Dan - it's great to have you on board! and thanks for the detailed reply about the pond - it's these extra details that make OSM great!
No need for this to be on the aerial imagery a best guess from local knowledge is fine!
I have to agree it is very addictive!

:-) Thank you!
I look forward to tramping through many bits of the country to get them better mapped in the future!
