This is excellent and probably exactly what i am looking for. Although being a novice web designer i wondered if this is possible to have a system whereby someone types in there post code and it takes them to a specific page (which obviously relates to the town) i.e someone types AB21 or AB12 and they are directed to the Aberdeen page.

i dont know how i would relate search field on website to the csv file and subsequently to pages per town

Apparently the government is releasing postcode data sometime this year. I haven’t heard anything about that recently but we’ll have to wait and see. Until then it’s very difficult (and time consuming) to compile a list of all postcodes and the relevant information.

Grab it above the comments section or at http://www.danielgibbs.net/downloads/.

Wanted to give you a big thanks for this free database and look forward to your update for it coming. =)

Unfortunately your lat+long points were a little mangled… they’re all to 1 significant figure??
But that’s not a problem… I simply used the lat long values from ezpy’s list, and your town & county names.

Your new list does sound rather impressive, but this will do for the time being!

Thanks again

Ollie

will be an excellent belated xmas present.

the ezpy is a fabuolous database/resource – i was just thinking of adding towns to it myself… you’ve beaten me to it !

.. but plz move up a gear and finish it. Just work on the epzy 2822 records.

for full blown postcode database http://www.linuxbox.co.uk has something on offer. 3-million will take you far too long and will still be way short of the 28-million postcode royal mail database.

let us know when your done with the 2822-records.

thanks and good luck.

I’ve generated a massive list of over 3 million postcodes and have validated if they exist of not. The difficult part starts after then. It will have more specific regional information though instead of generalising things under the main post town.

Cheers
