[Phpwm] Postcode Database

[Ronan Ryan]

If all you need is to match postcodes to grid references, you might try
the NSPD from the Office for National Statistics.

http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/nspd.asp

The 'core' version contains the 2.2 million UK postcodes, mapped to 1 or
meter grid references and several other geographies.

It costs about £140 for a once-off supply, and about £180 per year for
quarterly updates. This is the cost for businesses and charities, and it
can be used for any activity that the purchaser funds or resources. It's
free to academia and NHS bodies, so long as it isn't used for commercial
gain.

See Order Form and User Guide on above page for proper details of what
it contains. 

If you're confused about what all the various geographies are, see below
for a beginners guide:
