From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The SR postcode area, also known as the Sunderland postcode area[2], is a group of postal districts around Peterlee, Seaham and Sunderland in Tyne and Wear and County Durham in England.
[edit] Coverage
The postcode area forms a coastal strip from South Tyneside in the north to Easington district in the south. The Sunderland post town occupies six of the geographic districts, and forms a group at the north; occupying approximately half of the total area. The other half, comprising the Seaham and Peterlee post towns, forms two large postcode districts in a line running south from Sunderland.
