Wanted - Part-Postcode Database...
#1
Each Postcode is made up of several parts...
PE1 1AA
PE (Postal Town)
1 (Zone 1 in Postal Town)
1 (Zone 1 in Zone 1)
After that, its down to total accuracy with the rest of it, the last remaining letters.
Now every full postcode in the country has a grid ref or lat/long assigned to it - its how multimap, streetfinder etc work.
What I ONLY want is the first 3 parts, or to put it another way, the initial postcode up to the space and the character after the space, in order to provide me with the co-ordinates of that particular area (known as a centroid).
This'll be accurate to approx 3 or 4 miles in many cases but is totally sufficient for my needs.
Before I get STFU comments, I've yet to find anybody (AFD/Royal Mail/NSO/Ordinance Survey etc etc) that can provide me with this subset of the FULL 2.2 million postcodes
I'd accept it down to just the bits before the space... ??
