Re: A8002 Thurso?
My mission is to travel every road and visit every town, village and hamlet in the British Isles.
I don't like thinking about how badly I am doing.
From the SABRE Wiki: A8001 :
The A8001 was first recorded on the 1934 edition of the Ordnance Survey ten mile map. Despite not appearing again on road maps, leading to an assumption it had been swept away in the 1935 Road numbering revision, it is still shown on the 1959 1:10560 map of Thurso in Sir Johns Square, apparently connecting the A882 and A840. However, as the number is marked in the square itself, rather than on a road, it is not clear whether the number applies to the north, south or both sides

Yes, the A800 number does seem rather unlikely, but then it does appear in a number of revisions, so no idea.
Either way, we should probably have a page on it anyway, clearly stating that we think it's probably a mapping error as it appears on more than one map edition.
