Leading off Spiceall is another complex street. From the image at its northernmost end (121120009103.jpg), we can see its name is Almsgate. It extends from Spiceall directly south to the junction with another road, yet to be mapped, and has its own side-street. Map and tag Almsgate in the same way as Spiceall. By the time you've finished, you should have a set of streets shaped like the following, as seen in JOSM:

There are still some sections of trace in this area we haven't mapped yet that represent footpaths. These connect the end of Spiceall's spur with Almsgate and the other branch of the street. The former of these is just a straight line between the end of the spur and Almsgate, which we'll map using existing nodes, as follows:

In Potlatch, select the end node of Spiceall by clicking on the way, then shift-click on the end node, and Potlatch should start drawing a new way. Now move across to Almsgate and hover over that way. Potlatch will show its nodes. Click on the one close to the end of the trace, then click again to stop drawing.

In JOSM, select the end node of Spiceall, then press A to start drawing, then hold down Alt while clicking on a node in Almsgate. Click on the node again to stop drawing.

In Merkaartor, choose the Road tool, then click on the end node of Spiceall. Now click on a node in Almsgate, and press Escape to stop drawing.
