Postcode map...help please

[glocko]

Anyone know of an online map service which says where main postcodes are in a town??

ie the first letters and numbers...CH63, SY4 etc

I'm all googled out!!!

TIA

It's not a map that will show you the exact boundaries but you can use the first part of the postcode on www.multimap.com

Thanks chaps, to be specific, in my job I 'share a town' with my Southern colleague so wanted a little map which shows the boundaries of postcody areas...ie. I cover CH62 CH63 Ch64, she covers CH41 CH42 etc etc.
the town in question BTW is Aberystwyth (incidentally with a Shrewsbury postcode!!!)

Doesn't Google Earth have an overlay for postcode boundaries?

The OS Street maps or deluxe A-Z's cover quite a big area, and have a section with postcode number overlays if that helps??

I think all of aber is SY23 (I live there) but might be wrong!

I see there is even a PH zone

It takes two of you to cover Aberystwyth?

BG.....sigh!!!

Slice Wales in half horizontally, She has south, I have north, Aber is in the middle and she does up to the boundary but I do the town itself!!! She's is in Cardiff, I'm on the Wirral so there was a lot of tug of war till we got to this compromise!!!

The whole of Aberystwyth is SY23 the centre is either followed by 1,2,3 or 4. SY23 goes as far south as a town called Llanon (about 12miles south) and about 6 miles north (towards Borth) and a good few miles inland.
