Having looked at some of the entries I would just like to point out
that the data seems to be stored by local authority rather than postal
geography - which is possibly why one of the sites I previously looked
at was riddled with errors.

UK not being included in Wiki Loves Monuments.
The discussion is certainly worth
having.
Following these discussions I took at look at the
EH Spatial Data page (
http://www.english-heritage.org.uk/professional/archives-and-collections/nm…
).
I presume the database format which is causing problems is ESRI?
After a bit more digging I found the technical instructions for this
format at
http://www.esri.com/library/whitepapers/pdfs/shapefile.pdf but
it is way beyond my database abilities. Would someone at Village pump
(technical) be able to convert it into anything useful or easy to use?
Yes, that looks like progress. Technical matters tend to be the long
suit among Wikimedians.
