Field notes
Map points use Kent County Council’s mapped positions and asset numbers, with filters for design, visual condition, paint colour and ownership. The project credits Jenny and Allen MacDonald’s initial survey of more than 800 photographs; its submission form says faces and number plates are blurred and photo location data is removed before publication.
