NR8 5GU is a postal code used within the United Kingdom for delivering mail.
Postcodes are made up of two parts. The part before the space (NR8) is called the outward code. The part after the space (5GU) is called the inward code. The letters C, I, K, M, O and V are not allowed in the inward code. In addition to the inward and outward code, the postcode can be broken up into four parts:
- Postal Area. In our case NR which means Norwich.
- Postal District. In our case NR8.
- Postal Sector. In our case NR8 5.
- Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case GU.
The regional mail center for the post area NR is the National Distribution Centre, which is located at Danes Way, NORTHAMPTON, NN6 7DD.
The final port of call for any post addressed to the NR8 5GU postcode is the local delivery office (DO) which is DRAYTON SPDO. Here the post will be sorted ready for delivery.
