Ordnance Survey free postcode data
by Dominic Hargreaves 15 Apr '10

15 Apr '10

As others have already pointed out, the Ordnance Survey data set Code-Point open is an open-licensed postcode database derived from offical government data, and largely removes the need for separate efforts such as Free The Postcode (although it's possible that some purists still consider a public domain collection effort as worthwhile). Therefore I am unlikely to continue development with freethepostcode.org or freepostcodes.org.uk but have put up a mirror of the Code-Point open data and links to the offical source. I note that someone has already put up a geocoder at http://www.uk-postcodes.com/ which may be of interest to those on the list; it would be interesting if they could post their methods/code for free reuse.
