Unfortunately it appears that your work [SD 42745 38492] borrows significant elements from an earlier work of my client's entitled "SD 42749 38495 Sheepfold". Solicitors will be contacting you shortly to discuss royalties.

I get the blame for everything around here! I'm off out to get bladdered!

For the grid references to be wholy your own work and copyright free you need to derive them without the aid of the OS map. The easiest way of doing this is to go there with your GPS.
Interesting point here, The GPS reading will be something like SN 9872 1903 which in itself is based on the OS grid system - are you not still in the OS web of copyright by using their system? -- Bill Grey http://www.billboy.co.uk

It's a very old system and as such ought to be out of copyright. I don't think Harvey have to pay royalties to OS for use of the grid. -- Phil Cook looking north over the park to the "Westminster Gasworks"

No, for the reasons I explained ad nauseam in a post I made a couple of days ago.
