I don't know the longitude and latitude of the following British towns. If you know or can find them, please add them!

(I'm working my way through the counties and have got to Essex so far).

Alternatively, if there's a place you'd like me to make a map for, please add it.

The preferred format is:

• -01.58 53.07 Wirksworth

(meaning 53.07°N 1.58°W). This makes it easier to feed to my scripts for map generation.

[edit] Buckinghamshire

• Marlow, Buckinghamshire
  • Try -0.46 51.34 --Phil | Talk 16:05, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cambridgeshire

• Cambourne (in Cambridgeshire, not Cornwall)
  • CB3 8LD or CB3 6EA or TL318603. Why on earth do you want Lat & Long when we have a superb National Grid? -- RHaworth 18:13, 2005 Apr 23 (UTC)
    • Thanks! The reason for wanting lat/long is that my map-generating script understands them. In this case, multimap gives

Lat: 52:13:23N (52.2231) Lon: 0:04:40W (-0.0778) Lupin 18:23, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Welney
  • 0.14 52.31 NB multimap says it's in Norfolk --Phil | Talk 16:14, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Wisbech
  • 0.09 52.39 --Phil | Talk 16:14, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Cumbria

• Roose
  • -3.19 54.11

[edit] Devon

• Maristow
  • -4.150 lat=50.464

[edit] Essex

• Ongar
  • 0.244 51.705

[edit] Oxfordshire

• Thame (there seem to be 3 in Oxfordshire + one in Bucks - which is the article about?)

• SP752122 - SU590975 - SP629059 - are all just bits of the River Thame
• SP7005 (on your list but SP 710 060 is better) - is the town. -- RWH

[edit] Norfolk

• Walsingham - TF 934 368 - The OS gazetteer has them under Great Walsingham and Little Walsingham (the larger of the two!) and is too thick to find them under Walsingham. RHaworth 05:35, 2005 May 11 (UTC)
