An interesting short documentary made by the UK Post Office about how the post code helps, and is used to sort and deliver mail. This dates to the late 1970s. There is also a theme concerning the introduction of new advanced technology to help with this, and educating people about this.

I am guessing that they didn't imagine that postcodes would be used less on letters are more for using Satnavs and finding places for the first time. Although, they did mention routes as a possible other use
