I keep finding more and more fake nominations at this location, usually the MO is that they copy a legitimate wayspot from somewhere in the vicinity.

**Corbriggs nature reserve**  
53.21124894770896, -1.390469567823373

**Local nature reserve**  
53.21300922952507, -1.3937744404547494

Both of these have the same photo:

Lots of copies of this, I believe the original is at 53.200748, -1.384669

**Grassland managment Site**  
53.211183999999996, -1.390282

This reads “NHS University Hospitals of North Midlands” which is clearly not correct

**Public footpath marker**

Both the photographs are identical

Third party photo of somewhere called Hilltop Farm Ride and Livery which appears to be 60 miles away in Warrington.

Copied from 53.200427999999995, -1.389086

The review timed out before I could get all the information..

**Corbriggs information sign**  
53.21183983797964, -1.3895468095498624  
Copied from elsewhere nearby, but I don’t have the original photo

**English oak**  
53.211689282245, -1.3891637147106146  
Copied from elsewhere nearby

Somewhere around 53.21166176623491, -1.390894630016815 is a wayspot with a name like “ **Snap your photo here** ” which can also be found at 53.20467, -1.3851559999999998 and 53.206084999999995, -1.38608

I would say that about half the wayspots here are either completely fake or are duplicates. Wayfarer team, I think this needs a proper look at and not just a piecemeal approach.

Also, we could really use a good wayspots map to counter this type of abuse..

@shritwod Thanks for posting this. I just came across one in review.

**title** : “Birch (betula pendula)”,  
**location approx** 53.202889, -1.387421,  
**description** : Birch represents new beginings, renewal and purification.

And more..

For the avoidance of doubt, there is no public footpath here and there were several fake wayspots recently removed - [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/search?query=53.21176695730264%2C+-1.389394103789847&zoom=15&minlon=-0.6027460098266603&minlat=52.164008495420404&maxlon=-0.5203485488891603&maxlat=52.187483677242334#map=19/53.211812/-1.389011)

Next to it is..

**Corbriggs information sign**  
53.21182571097118, -1.3894755986727598  
The map shows this is taken from Grassmoor Country Park to the south

There are the boundaries of the park - [Way: ‪Grassmoor Country Park‬ (‪278423141‬) | OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/278423141#map=16/53.20281/-1.38705)

53.21341514281115, -1.3945150123846988

The same photo is used for two wayspots. StreetView does not show a marker like this at either location.

Another fake one, can this be looked at @ScopelyExpAaron or someone else on the team?

Spoiler alert, you can’t see if from the road because there is no such place. The main image is stolen from here - [Honeycomb (Outsize Magnified Bees in Hive sculpture or statue) – ArtParkS](https://artparks.co.uk/sculpture/honeycomb-outsize-magnified-bees-in-hive-sculpture-or-statue/)

I keep forgetting and get lazy. I simply rejected this a few minutes ago for inaccurate location, since it said “can be viewed from the road” but clearly couldn’t,

Wayspot not in supporting photo - tick  
No evidence wayspot exists there - tick  
Information provided is clearly false - tick

That’s enough to get suspicious about it being abuse, and not lazily reject for location.
