Question

need to know

Answer 1

2 letters 1 number although can be two digits, a number then 2 letters.

eg; NG11 9LL or LE6 8JH. The first letters denote postal area.

Answer 2

Postcodes can be 5, 6 or 7 digits

Answer 3

no not five - in an English postcode there are a minimum of 6 digits - but some postcodes have 7 digits

An English postcode will usually denote a block of houses - like one side of a street or road - so it is important to also know the number of the house in question , but large establishments like workplaces and schools will have their own unique post code

Answer 4

7. First two are letters which tells you the city area, the next two are numbers which tell the section of the city area. A gap. Then a number and two letters.
Each postcode is a street, so techically you could put the name of the person you are writing to, the house number and postcode and it would get there.

Answer 5

An example postcode would be AB12 3CD

AB = Town or city
12 = District, this number can be anywhere inbetween 0-99.
3CD = Street, and what side of the street.

So, it is possible to write "number 18, AB12 3CD" on an envelope, and it will still get to the right address.
