Numbered P.O. Districts in Country Towns. Aid To Accurate Delivery". The Times. 20 November 1934. p.14. This does not mean that the people of B29 are poorer than other areas, but it may give an indication that there are areas of deprivation. The single or pair of letters chosen for postcode areas are generally intended as a mnemonic for the places served. [1] Postcode areas, post towns and postcode districts do not follow political boundaries and usually serve much larger areas than the place names with which they are associated. For example, within the PA postcode area the PA1 and PA78 postcode districts are 140 miles (225km) apart; and the eight postcode areas of the London post town cover only 40% of Greater London. [2] The remainder of its area is covered by sections of twelve adjoining postcode areas: EN, IG, RM, DA, BR, TN, CR, SM, KT, TW, HA and UB.

When the national postcode system was introduced, many existing postal districts were incorporated into it, so that postcodes in Toxteth (Liverpool 8) start with L8. The districts in both Manchester and Salford gained M postcodes, so Salford 7 became M7 and so on (and similarly in Brighton and Hove, both using the prefix BN). The old coding lives on in a small number of street signs with (for example) "Salford 7" at the bottom. In other cases, the district numbers were replaced with unrelated numbers. In Glasgow many of its G-prefixed numbers are not used as C1 became G1, W1 became G11, N1 became G21, E1 became G31, S1 became G41, SW1 became G51, and so on. In London (as postally defined), 1917-created postal districts are mapped unchanged to those of today but its much enlarged administrative area, Greater London, was created in April 1965. From that month the remaining 60% of Greater London's area has postcodes referring to 13 other post towns. Additionally, there were too few postcodes to adequately cover districts in central London (particularly in the WC and EC areas), so these were subdivided with a letter suffix rather than being split into new numbered districts so as to retain the familiar codes. The primary settlement in the B3 postcode district is Birmingham, located in the West Midlands county. Additionally, there are no other significant settlements mentioned in the data. The main post town for this postcode district is Birmingham, which is also located in the West Midlands county. Given that each sector allows for 400 unique postcode combinations, the district has a capacity of 1,600 postcodes. With 425 postcodes already in use, this leaves 1175 units available. Girobank's headquarters in Bootle used the non-geographic postcode GIR 0AA. There is also a special postcode for letters to Santa/Father Christmas, XM4 5HQ. [49] Following the successful introduction of postal districts in London, the system was extended to other large towns and cities. Liverpool was divided into Eastern, Northern, Southern and Western districts in 1864/65, and Manchester and Salford into eight numbered districts in 1867/68. [4]If the Information Provider does not provide a specific attribution statement, you must use the following: There are approximately 1.7million postcodes in the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. [68] Postcode areas are also divided into several post towns, which predate the introduction of postcodes, with the London post town uniquely covering more than one postcode area.
