Postcode database

**NoMercy** · 1st June 2006

Wondering if anyone has come accross one that doesn't mean paying Royal Mail �� ?

In the middle of making a PHP distance from postcodes type app.

Think what you're looking for is this.

At the moment I'm looking for something similar, but the PITA is that I'm looking for a database that can lookup a postcode and return the basic address information (street, town, county) - maybe you found such a thing on your travels?

Anyhow, have fun.

i built a asp.net version of a postcode distance checker using that database on that jibble site.
was pretty easy once you put the data in a database

Yeah I've looked at Jibble, but it only goes down to like half the post code as I remember, thanks for the reply though.
May have got myself the full thing now, will let you know.

Royal mail do give you 3 postcode free per day

I would be interested in a full postcode database too.

At the moment, the only thing I have is a database of the first segement and also the corresponding longitude and latitude (for use in calculating approximate distances).

I don't think I was being that blatant

The post office has a free postcode finder all you do is register and you get several free per day. Hope this helps?

NoMercy is not looking for a postcode finder. Like he said in the original post he is developing a distance calculator in PHP. He is looking for something that has the full postcode with long and lat.

I am also looking for something like this. However jibble do offer postcode long and lat but for postcode area rather than full postcodes. I was hoping there was a free one available for download that has the full uk postcode (free of course).
