This year marks 40 years since the post codes we know today were introduced across the nation and they’re still going strong today.

From enabling postmen and women up and down the country to find us, to pinpointing landmarks and sporting venues, everywhere has one.

Even some of our favourite television shows have snapped them up so how many of these ten do you recognise?
