Each mark is a postcode's centre point as ONS gives it, not a building. Press one to see its postcode and open its page. A dashed outline shows where 5 or more lie within 250 metres of each other. It is not a boundary, and no boundary is drawn. Where marks overlap, the one first in the key is drawn; the counts include every postcode. Names in italics are council wards: we hold no town or village names here.
