Sorry I seem to have put a cat amongst the pigeons with my query about the 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/nmr... ).
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.
