Is there an online map showing the Leeds postcode areas in detail?

In answer to a number of the questions, the Royal Mail keeps a firm hold on the postcode database and is often quick to stamp out unofficial resources as it's a good source of revenue. There's been a question as to what will happen if delivery services are privatised as it could mean that the database falls into private hands, and despite the official line that it is for postal deliveries only obviously it's used for a lot more data these days.Postcodes were originally allocated clockwise and outwards from the central area in most cities. There can be aberrations, primarily based on sorting office capacity, and buildings can be allocated individual full postcodes or, in the case of Leeds Arena, a postal district of its own, presumably as it will be handling ticket distribution itself. Leeds is quite straightforward in that respect as the postcodes more or less follow the Leeds city boundaries with the addition of Ilkley and Tadcaster.
