This will search our database for a post code. You can enter a post code with or without the space. Partial postcode searching is supported on the first part of the post code, eg SW18, but the location you get is a rough calculation !

To find out the postal code for an address or to establish the full address of a post code, visit the Royal Mail web site at http://www.royalmail.co.uk/paf/

This will search our database for a street in Great Britain. You only need supply the first three letters of the street name and we will look for the rest. Note that we do not want numbers or anything else, just the street name. Also, do not try and abbreviate street or road ie do not use rd or st in the name. If you are not sure, just use the name without street or road and select the location you want from the list.

    [d]y.y,[d]x.x or [d]y:yy:yy,[d]x:xx:xx

where [d] id the optional direction N S E or W , y=lat, x=long, -x is west +x is east, eq: 52.038333,-4.578611 or N52.038333,W4.578611 or 52:02:18,-4:34:43 or or N52:02:18,W4:34:43 (note that leading zeroes are required when using the degrees:minutes:seconds notation).
