Postcode prefix guide

To help with your search, we have listed every possible postcode prefix we can think of for the town, city, or area they are
derived from, and the county where that town, city, or area is located. The major cities are so well known that it is not
necessary to indicate their geographical location, in which case the county column is blank. We hope you find this useful!
