OSM for History Buffs
Ireland
Приєднався 11 лис 2018
The main focus of this channel are tutorials about mapping heritage in Ireland using OpenStreetMap. I try to visit the places I map as much as possible, so you'll also get a bit of local history in the videos.

Linking townlands on OpenStreetMap with logainm
Do you like maps and/ or place names and/ or precision? Well, here's a worthwhile crowdsourced project to improve the entries on townlands.ie. You never know who might benefit in the long run from the proof-reading of townland names and linking them to logainm.ie - it might even be yourself.
Townlands.ie isn't actually updated daily any longer, but it's still good to have the data added.

Tobernamonine or St Moninne's Well is a holy well dedicated to Saint Moninne or Darerca or any of her other names. It's in the townland of Glencommaun, not far from Owning. Access is across two fields at your own risk. Correction: Darerca was widely travelled and even made it to Wexford, my apologies.

What's with all the stiles?

Walking around the Irish landscape (and possibly other countries), did you ever wonder about what the stiles in walls and fences were for? Here's an interesting example which diverges from the usual hiking trail or graveyard wall stile. commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Stiles_in_County_Kilkenny #opendata #openstreetmap #freshford

Toberbreedia: Saint Bridget's Well
Переглядів 1783 місяці тому
St Bridget's Well (or St. Brigid's Well) in Toberbreedia, parish of Ballycallan, one of the holy wells which got offended by people's behaviour and moved location. According to the literature of the 19th and early 20th century, it was mostly forgotten about, but people visit it now (again) and ask for the water for cures. I'm also briefly mentioning Bóthar Chiaráin which I have come across in o...

Keep it up please!
I spoke to a local again today, and he told me that their neighbour told them as children that the markings on the stone were a treasure map.
Your thatched roof is simply lovely ! Thank you for sharing ….
Appreciate the detailed breakdown! I need some advice: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately, I cannot help you with your question.
I'm from kilkenny. Are you local? Would love to meet to discuss more!.
I am, but I'm not going to share my contact details here. I don't think there is a way to send DMs, unfortunately.
Wasn't aware Bing Streetside existed and also never knew photos where available in iD. Mind blown. Thank you for the vid
We've come a long way with street-level imagery. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you for sharing this bit of history from my ancestors time. Quite a fascinating tower, must have been something wild to live in those days.
Interesting little tour. i loved the apple tree and picturing it for the house. The sign on the stile, I believe it said Bóthar Coill, means the road to the wood or wood road or something like that. And isn't that the one that has the stepping stone over onto a path into the wood?
If you wanted to cross the stream, they all link up with the path that now is the Loop Walk and that eventually leads into Uppercourt Demesne, but I don't think that was publically accessible in the past, when it was a bishop's residence or later a manor house. Further towards Tullaroan is also the townland of Boherkyle (begins just after the entrance into Uppercourt House), and there is a bit of old road (now only leads into one or two farms, I believe) which is also referred to as Boherkyle by the locals.
@@OSM4HistoryBuffs ah right, it’s just odd they have the sign specifically there at that entrance. Is that the entrance that had the path on the map, no?
@@remnantsofourpast I have no idea why they chose to place it there. If I get the chance, I'll ask a local. Or two, just in case. ;-) That's where it is: www.openstreetmap.org/node/12259601121
Interesting, but not your business as to whom owns a stream
@@againstall6830 Nobody is talking about ownership of the stream; I don't know what gave you that idea. We're only discussing a place name.
Thank you for making this video a year ago. It came in very handy today. I'm subscribing to your channel!
If that stone was previously used as a border marking somewhere, that groove could indicate where the border was going, so basically that marker would have been at a corner.
@@WolfgangZenker-e5s interesting theory. It would help to know where it came from, of course.
Just a little follow up: I found the man who went to the well as a boy, and according to him, it was a cure for "the itch", not for eyes, so closer to what the current landowner was telling me. You can listen to my interview with him here: commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:2024-10-04_Paddy_Daly.opus
What did St Bridget do to make the well holy and give it her namesake ?
Probably not much. She is the patron saint of the parish, whoever chose her. I don't think there is any tradition of her coming to Co. Kilkenny.
That's lovely, well done! I love the holy wells and the stories they tell
How do I know this one hmm😊
Any advice on how to open OHM in QGIS? I wanted to make some historical maps for a UA-cam video but it's hard to set up dates in QGIS being a newbie

Great video! Unfortunately wasn't able to view this live, but glad I got a chance to watch now. I always learn things from your videos, including some of the plugins and extra keyboard shortcuts that I'll be using in future. Your channel is a great resource. I've also been meaning to do a bit more on OSMIrl tasking manager and will do again soon. You're doing a great work. Many thanks! (OSM handle: IpswichEdits)

Maybe the national authority is a bit conservative, or lazy... anyway, local usage is king. If the locals call it X, it's X, no doubt

Very interesting !!
Would it be patrick & corra the serpent queen?
@@Tailtiu3 I think that if it had been Patrick, that would have been remembered locally. I think there are stories connecting the local saint Lactan with the serpent, but in the Schools' Collection story, the saint has no name.
It's a spring, they tried to bury it. But she's a coming up.
YOU JUST SAFED MY JOB💌💌💌💌💌💌💌💌
Very interesting. Thank you!
Hello ! Thanks to your video we were able to see this well yesterday. We uncovered the steps leading down, they'd been overgrown heavily with grass, moss and weeds. Someone had killed some of the overgrowth around the well since your video was taken. It's a shame this isn't sign posted and kept up to a higher standard. Thanks again for your video !
Thanks for your comment! I must have stood on the steps myself, but I didn't realise they were steps. Did you see the inscription in the top slab?
@@OSM4HistoryBuffs we didn’t disturb the top slab too much, a lot of bugs living there. steps much more visible now though!
Beautiful, thank you.

Just so stunningly beautiful ,and also a gateway 🕳

This is great im trying to build out my own walking / hiking trails app with react native and expo. Iv gotten mapbox integrated well with my app itself and built out all the authentication and UI / navigation. Now I need to add in real trail data from OSM so I can then display like custom cards or pins with trail data on all the trails in the U.S. Is there any process like you show where i can download all the data I need and built it out on my app? I know AllTrails uses a tileset server with all the OSM tiles they downloaded to use on there app but was not sure if there would be an easier way to do this without having to have a separate server just for the OSM tile data. Hopefully this makes sense im looking for some assistance on this question. Great Video, learned a lot. Thank you!
Hi and thanks for watching the video and commenting. Unfortunately, I don't have the technical knowledge to help you with your questions. I know that tile servers are used, but that is as far as my knowledge goes. I'm sure there are people on GitHub or similar websites where you can find help, though. Best of luck!
@@OSM4HistoryBuffsNot a problem Ill keep trying!
OK.
Can't see who you are or your name. My name is Tony. Really looking forward to discovering much more of our local history. Thank you
@@Anarco1959 Thanks for your comment, but I don't see why my name would be relevant for local history.
Fascinating detailed research .
Another point......the thing about hiding in tunnels and Soutterains. Us Picts, have them, and we also have ghe circle forts, and Brochs, similar ti the Nurragis of Sardinia. The Romans eradicated the HQ of the 'Sea Peoples' in AD 100, after Carthiginia, and the Punic Wars. We must appreciate, that the Celt warrior culture, stretched as far as Thracia, in Anatolia, and the Romans, spent a couple of thousand years, rolling back and annihalting all Celtic cultures. They simply hated us, because we were the best individual fighters, on the planet. They never did, realise that Dynastic Dream, of eradicating the last military stronghold, in Alba, (Scotland), even after 400 years. BUT THEIR LEGACY OF UNIVERSAL CATHOLOCISM, did, quietly, eradicate our culture, after the 1100s, by destroying most of our historical artefacts. So, yes, all Celts, who survived the Romans, eventually ended up in Scotland, and that is why, the Romans built three times as many Forts, in Scotland, allied with there walls, than in fighting any other Celtic culture. Consequently, the 'tunnel' metaphor, became our children's bedtime story, for overseas invaders, like my Vikinger ancestors. Firepsych@gmx.co.uk
Can I jusy say this...thanks very much......I think you are correct obout the Danan ref, because in Scotland, the 'Danes' were known as Fresians, as in Dumfries (The Fort of the Fresians), and Fresian cattle. Also the word Viking, is not a noun, but an adjective. It denoted raiders from the sea, just as Scotti, denoted the same, coming from Ireland. Since my gene pool, originated in Stockholm, 2, 000 years ago, and Budapest, (Hun), at a similar time, but importantly, my ancestors were in Rathlin island, 3,700 years ago, at least, and I am 40% of Greek ancestry also. So, it looks like the Vikingers, may have came to Rathlin island, set up a community there, possibly with a Greek 'Eve', and yhenceforth became part of the Atlantic Facade, the sea peoples, who moved on up to Sweden and then back to invade England, as the Anglo Saxons, AD 400, where my ancestors also are based, in, (Thames/Cambridge, Hul, York). Thesewarrior Celts, also invaded Belfast, initially, and are the Rb1, psychopaths. (Yes, maybe even me)...... And have the Hemochromatosis and blue eyes...(Also me!) gene. PS...never invite them to a party...😂
Great work!
Thanks Daniele, glad you like it and it inspired you already. ;-)
So cool 😮
Excellent! Thanks so much for this. Out of interest, do you have any videos or other guidance on adding information boards? For example, I recently came across an already-mapped board with these tags: (board_type=history, information=board, tourism=information) and I took a photo of it. Am I allowed to take a photo of it and put it on Wikimedia Commons or does copyright apply (or is there a better option than Wikimedia for this purpose). And if that's all ok, what's the best way to tag it so it links to it correctly? Thanks for your work on this channel!
I don't see why copyright would be an issue, depending on where you live, it should fall under "freedom of panorama". If the information panel itself says something about copyright and sharing restrictions (I have never seen that), you have to respect those, of course. If for some reason, you don't want to use Wikimedia, you can use Flickr or any other platform where you don't have to log in to see content (like Facebook) and use the "image" key with the image url as the value. There is also an option to add image:license to the node. And I don't seem to have done any other videos on that topic, but I should, I suppose. Using SC is a bit awkward.
@@OSM4HistoryBuffs Thanks so much for the quick reply. That's reassuring. While I assumed they wouldn't mind, I didn't know about Freedom of Panorama. Thanks again for the advice. Your youtube channel really is a top resource and underrated. I've learned a lot from your videos. I've enjoyed contributing a little to OSMIRL after watching your videos on that subject, and will do so again as soon as I have the time. Thanks. Dave (IpswichEdits) (I should add that I'm using JOSM most of the time. When out and about I tend to use EveryDoor more frequently than SC)
@@davebulow2 Thanks you so much for your feedback; it is very reassuring and shows me a bit of where people are who watch them. I don't use SC as much as I used to; I'm really warming up to EveryDoor instead, but still also use OSMAnd. And for desktop mapping, I tend to use JOSM more than iD, but iD is more accessible for beginners.
What tag is OSM?

Nice talk.
Thanks very much. Listening back to it, I was a lot more nervous than I thought.
@@OSM4HistoryBuffs it was great 🙂
Are you sure the latitudes and longitudes are copy righted?
They are not, but they are derived from a non open source.
I haven't used a mobile library since the 80s. I'm glad that there are some still going. 🙂
thanks for the video. learnt a lot.. tip - you can use password manager to manage your (hundreds of) passwords.. login with Google is scary for me as I have multiple accounts and if I used other google account by mistake, the platform creates a new account..
Do you really need the degrees?
I think it is useful for accessibility reasons.
I like the construction animation (also the parts where the bricks seem to have their own will), but I would have liked it if a once constructed wall were to stay instead of being demolished and rebuild over and over again. That way one has a less busy picture to compare with what you say. Maybe instead at the end of the chapter demolish the wall once? Anyways, thanks for showing and explaining so many variaties, I would not have expected there to be so many!
That's a good point, I got a bit carried away with the animations. The wiki page has static pictures of all the variations, though.
Yes its the reverberation but it's also cool.
cool
