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 PR which means Preston.
Postal District. In our case PR3.
Postal Sector. In our case PR3 2.
Postcode Unit. The last two letters. In our case QS.

The regional mail center for the post area PR is the North West Distribution Centre, which is located at Mill Lane, Winwick Quay, WARRINGTON, WA2 8RJ.
