The GeoPlace Conference takes place at Manchester United Football Club, on 21st May. It seemed like an opportunity not to be missed. So we asked Street Naming & Numbering Officers, and Custodians:
- Which streets share the names of famous footballers?
- Which road names remind you of our hard-working referees?
- Do you know an address that’s an homage to a great scorer?
- Is there a building that scores highly in football terms?
They came up with some examples that really are 'back of the net' and our spatial team was happy to map them!
