brillient mike..just what i wanted..thank you... i just made one small mistake and if your 1st map went a little further down you would have spotted it...the pub was at the junction of bsw and villa st....not farm st....

cheers mike...

Yes. I must admit Lyn i saw the Victoria on the larger scalle map without checking road, and then just copied the full length one. I must admit i have got a bit mixed up in the past with the three roads all parallel and geting the corner on the wrong road.
