The Belfast postal area, which covers Northern Ireland, was the last part of the United Kingdom to be coded, between 1970 and 1974.
[edit] Belfast
Belfast had already been divided into numbered districts. Today, the Belfast post town covers districts 1-17, 58 and part of 29. In common with all addresses in Northern Ireland, Belfast postcodes start with the letters BT, a mnemonic of the capital city's name. The commercial centre of the city is designated BT1 and the surrounding districts form a roughly sequential clockwise ring around the city.
[edit] Rest of Northern Ireland
The remainder of Northern Ireland is divided into 43 other post towns which are further divided into postal districts 18-57, 60-82 and 92-94. BT29 is a shared sector partially in the post towns of BELFAST (31 delivery points) and CRUMLIN (7,206 delivery points). [1]
