Pretty much everything in rural areas in the UK is just done b y names of properties along with the area or nearest village - some roads do have names but they tend to only be used by locals (and no signposts, of course).
Mind you all properties have postcodes and most roads have a designation of some kind - mind you I couldn't tell you the number of the road we live near without looking it up.
- alistairSH 6y agoThe best UK mailing label I've seen (on a 19th? century wooden crate bound for Dunvegan Castle) was: Route via Derby, Grantham, Ft William, Mallaig, David McBrayne's steamer to Armadale, and road delivery to Dunvegan. Do the postal codes uniquely ID a residence on their own? My dad's old address (from his youth) was: The Coolins, Emma Terrace, Blairgowrie PH10 6JA Does the code get the package to the right address on it's own? I'm guessing not, but the UK does use alpha-numeric codes (US is numeric only), so has a broader range of codes available for fine-tuning delivery.
