Converting Grid References to Post Codes, and Vice Versa:

A useful web site for converting OS grid references to nearest (approximate) post codes is the following:
Nearby.org.uk - Location Searches
For example, enter a grid reference in the form and click the 'Go' button. This gives you a results page, in which there are links to various internet-based maps as well as a link labelled 'Lookup Nearest Postcode' which will give an estimate (if available) of the nearest post code to that grid reference. The original grid reference, may, of course, be some distance from civilisation and hence from a usable post code!
