Hi I'm looking at the postcode data for Sheffield. There are a number of postcodes in the form S95 1AA which I think must be wrong - these codes don't actually exist, I'm pretty sure. Are you able to have another look at these?
They look like non-geographic postcodes, you'll often get a number of postcodes at the same location that are used for PO Boxes etc. You'll see most of them are located near post offices as well
The Northern Irish data is quite old because the licensing of it no longer allows me to publish the latest data. Your best bet is to to grab it from the ONS site if it's for internal use

Hi Chris, does this include Northern Ireland
Sorry, found it

The note on the page says that NI data is 2008, is that correct?
Thanks
That's right
Ok, many thanks for quick response will have a look.
