As anyone who has even a slight contact with me will testify, I am a very proud Salfordian. Despite living in Rochdale for 20+ years, I cannot see myself as Dale-bound or similar. However, we need to realise that Manchester as an address is (sadly) older than even post-codes: remember Salford, Broughton, and Swinton used to contest the Manchester Cup (OK, almost 90 years ago).
I also remember well that olde persons in the Pendleton area never used Salford but Pendleton in their address: De La Salle, Pendleton for example.
But I do dislike Eccles, Manchester or Swinton, Manchester as we conquered these hamlets in 1974.

Someday, somewhere, today’s empires are tomorrow’s ashes.: |

A few years ago, some Salford businesses campaigned for Salford to have its own post codes but the Post Office said no. Maybe with the development of Media City, the campaign will start again.

| Quote: RedUnderTheBed "Fair points - you can write Salford rather than Manchester, as long as the post code is right it will get there. I do think there is a difference between postal addresses and talking about where something is though, it's the latter that is most important.
That's fairly typical when a new postcode is allocated - the building I work in is about 9 years old and still doesn't show on some systems.
Quote: RedUnderTheBed "Did you know that Manchester Airport has a WA (Warrington) postcode?)'"
No, it has it's own postcode area (M90). |

First accept sadness. Realise that without losing 70% of the time, winning wouldn't be such a relief.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32990.jpg |

| Quote: Iain "That's the key thing. Yes, the Post Office allocate postal addresses, but you have leeway in what you use. Look at Salford City Council, after they did their In Salford branding to highlight that it is not Manchester, it was realised that for years they had been showing the main address at Swinton Civic as "Manchester" - they simply changed it on their communications (
You are right it's the surrounding Ringway area that has a WA15 postcode. It appears as the Airport complex grew it was given special dispensation for an M postcode. This was probably to stop people querying why it was called Manchester Airport when it had a Warrington postcode with part of the airport located in a different county.

Some of Salford's programs from the 50s list The Willows as being in Pendleton. Though I wonder whether telephone numbers had some influence here. Lots of local numbers were listed as PEN xxxx - PEN equating to 736.
My dad usually doesn't put postcodes on his home address either. 'Salford 5' or 'Salford 6' sufficed for him. Perhaps that's why he hasn't won the pools in the last 40 years.

Love it.

| As i posted elsewhere on this site Manchester/Salford was the original postcode district of which there was 8 before 1970 so you had Salford 6 for langworthy Pendleton and Seedley, but to make it easier the "M" monicur was adopted by the PO after 1970 so Salford 6 became M6, and so on. Other Post towns in Greater manchester Include Wigan, Bolton, Stockport and Oldham, it is just a way of getting mail to the right places, Salford Quays is M50 not M3. Then again the only thing that lets the system down is the human element, but it is a good way to get to know your neighbours when you deliver their post for them after your house becomes a secondary distribution centre.  |

Aren't the postcodes related to the larger sorting offices? That's why Leigh has a WN postcode although the Post Office list 'Leigh, Lancashire' as the postal town with no mention of Wigan. All a bit weird mind as if I lived 100 yards down the road then I'd have an M46 postcode. I certainly understand where people are coming from though and it's a bugbear from our point of view to see 'Wigan Council' all over the place after they rebranded by stealth from the previous Wigan MBC, which at least acknowledged it was the merger of the old boroughs.

Correct: it has little to do with the town or council. The daftest post code in the area for me is Bacup's: OL!
Sadly it becomes more irrelevant as time goes with no more Rochdalians, Salfordians, etc with maternity in foreign parts.

I think it's only 'difficult' cases that will be shipped down the congested A6 and into Manchester. Normal births will still be in the Celestial City.
