Open Addresses

From the homepage:

At Open Addresses, we are bringing together information about the places where we live, work and go about our daily lives. By gathering information provided to us by people about their own addresses, and from open sources on the web, we are creating an open address list for the UK, available to everyone.

Do you want to enter our photography competition?

Or do you want to get involved by submitting an address?

It’s as simple as entering it below.

Addresses are a vital part of the UK’s National Information Infrastructure. Open Addresses will be used by a whole range of individuals and organisations (academics, charities, public sector and private sector). By having accurate information about addresses, we’ll all benefit from getting more of the things we want, and less of the things we don’t.

Datasets as of 10 December 2014 are available for download now. Via BitTorrent so I assume the complete datasets are fairly large. Anyone downloaded them?

If you do download all or part of the records, curious what other public data sets would you combine with them?
