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.
