Line 190:
There are always two halves: the separation between outward and inward postcodes is indicated by one space.
 
The outward postcode covers a unique area and has two parts which may in total be two, three or four characters in length. A postcode area of one or two letters, followed by one or two numbersdigits, followed in some parts of London by a letter.
 
The outward postcode and the leading numeric of the inward postcode in combination forms a postal sector, and this usually corresponds to a couple of thousand properties.
