Where does the data come from?

Hi @charlesroper, what you've published is very useful, I've found this by reading the StackExchange thread at http://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/21/ordnance-survey-grids-download-or-generate . The question you put 5 yrs ago was likely the original problem you had that brought to the creation of the files. Oddly enough, the answer someone got back to you is your own solution :-)

... but where does the data come from? You must have calculated it from Ordnance Survey's own definition of the grid, or perhaps you found some intermediate work. If you shared a little more it would be easier to trust the robustness of your work, particularly to build on top of it, as I would like to do.

Please tell us more!

I honestly can't remember where the data came from. I think someone from OSGB gave them to me, or posted them onto a public form. Either way, I cleaned them up, converted them to GeoJSON, and uploaded here.
