Fascinating as always. However, I feel that your use of the word "unnecessary" for such a detailed snapshot of life and death only a few decades ago was uncharacteristically negative. Maybe I've missed something.

I thought land mines were stationary things that kill or maim those that tread on them.

If not a bomb, maybe a parachute mine...

British government officially called them 'Parachute Landmines', civilians just 'landmines'. [Wikipedia]

I think that cockmannings is actually funnier than cockfosters

I grant that some men like buses, and some don't. And some men chuckle at place names starting with Cock, and some don't. I have not observed any correlation between these two variables.

I had a cousin back in the 1960s who used to go into conniptions whenever anyone said “shuttlecock”. Fifty years since I’ve bothered to think about that, and it still isn’t funny.

Great article, and I really like the idea of exploring squares on the OS Maps

But what do the coloured squares and numbers at the end of the article represent? Cheers!
