CV postcode area

The CV postcode area is an administrative region spanning eastern West Midlands, encompassing Coventry, Warwickshire, and portions of west Leicestershire and Northamptonshire. The system divides the area into numbered sectors that organize mail delivery across towns and rural communities.

The postcode system developed from urban growth and the expansion of transportation networks in this industrial region during the twentieth century. The division into distinct sectors was created to serve growing communities across the wider area.

The postcode districts reflect regional characteristics, with CV1 through CV6 centered in Coventry while outer codes extend to towns like Stratford-upon-Avon. These divisions show how postal services organized the territory based on local centers of population.

The area is easily navigable using postcode references clearly marked on mail and parcels. The codes help visitors and residents alike to locate addresses quickly and find delivery points.

The area borders seven neighboring postcode regions, including Birmingham, Leicester, Derby, and Oxford, creating an interconnected postal network. This arrangement makes it a central hub for mail distribution across the English Midlands.
