The '''S postcode area''', also known as the '''Sheffield postcode area''',<ref>Royal Mail, ''Address Management Guide'', (2004)</ref> is a group of postcode districts in and around eight settlements with [[post town]] status: [[Barnsley]], [[Chesterfield]], [[Dronfield]], [[Hope Valley, Derbyshire|Hope Valley]], [[Mexborough]], [[Rotherham]], [[Sheffield]] and [[Worksop]] in [[England]]. Of these Dronfield and Mexborough have one postal district.
The '''S postcode area''', also known as the '''Sheffield postcode area''',<ref>Royal Mail, ''Address Management Guide'', (2004)</ref> is a group of [[postcode]] districts in England, which are subdivisions of eight [[post town]]s. These cover most of [[South Yorkshire]] (including [[Sheffield]], [[Barnsley]], [[Rotherham]] and [[Mexborough]]), parts of north [[Derbyshire]] (including [[Chesterfield, Derbyshire|Chesterfield]], [[Dronfield]] and the [[Hope Valley, Derbyshire|Hope Valley]]) and north-west [[Nottinghamshire]] (including [[Worksop]]), plus a small part of [[West Yorkshire]]. The S postcode area is one of six with a population above 1 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/about-ons/business-transparency/freedom-of-information/previous-foi-requests/people--population-and-community/population-for-every-postcode-district-in-england-and-wales/index.html |title=FOI request: Population for every postcode district in England and Wales |website=The National Archives |access-date=26 April 2021 |url-status=bot: unknown |archive-url=http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20160105160709/http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/about-ons/business-transparency/freedom-of-information/previous-foi-requests/people--population-and-community/population-for-every-postcode-district-in-england-and-wales/index.html |archive-date=5 January 2016 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

Currently the area has 49 non-sequentially numbered postal districts, three of which are 'non-geographical' being for bulk users in Sheffield and Rotherham.

The city of [[Sheffield]] which is the only city in [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] to have a single-digit designation for its postcode, is centred on the sequentially numbered districts from S1 to S14.


==History==
==History==
There was originally an ''S sector'' of the [[London postal district]], which was abolished in 1868.
For 1857–1868 an ''S sector'' of the [[London postal district]] existed.


Similarly, there were also S-prefixed postal districts in the compass-based system used in Glasgow: the former S1, S2, S3 and S4 areas on the South Side of Glasgow now have postcodes from G41 to G44.
Similarly, there were also S-prefixed postal districts in the compass-based system used in Glasgow: ''Glasgow S1, S2, S3 and S4'', which later became G41 to G44.


Three postcode districts were split and separated into ten new postcode districts. These were:
The S20 district was formerly numbered S19; S21, S25 and S26 were formerly numbered S31, while S32 to S36 were formerly numbered S30.
*S20, formed out of ''S19''
*S21, S25 and S26, formed out of ''S31''
*S32 to S36, formed out of ''S30''.


The S64 district, Mexborough, was earmarked for use as DN13 which has never been used, see [[DN postcode area]].
The S64 district covering the Mexborough post town was originally earmarked for use as [[DN postcode area|DN13]], which has never been used.


==Coverage==
==Coverage==
As with many postcode areas in the United Kingdom, the S Area is numbered in various clusters. S1-S14 cover the core urban area of [[Sheffield]], with S17-S36 covering more suburban or rural areas within Sheffield's environs. Postcodes in the range S4x relate to the [[Chesterfield, Derbyshire|Chesterfield]] area. The range S6x relates to [[Rotherham]]. S7x relates to [[Barnsley]], and S8x relates to [[Worksop]]. Any other postcodes prefixed S are non-geographic in nature.

The S postcode area, also known as the Sheffield postcode area,[2] is a group of postcode districts in England, which are subdivisions of eight post towns. These cover most of South Yorkshire (including Sheffield, Barnsley, Rotherham and Mexborough), parts of north Derbyshire (including Chesterfield, Dronfield and the Hope Valley) and north-west Nottinghamshire (including Worksop), plus a small part of West Yorkshire. The S postcode area is one of six with a population above 1 million.[3]

History

[edit]

For 1857–1868 an S sector of the London postal district existed.

Similarly, there were also S-prefixed postal districts in the compass-based system used in Glasgow: Glasgow S1, S2, S3 and S4, which later became G41 to G44.

Three postcode districts were split and separated into ten new postcode districts. These were:

  • S20, formed out of S19
  • S21, S25 and S26, formed out of S31
  • S32 to S36, formed out of S30.

The S64 district covering the Mexborough post town was originally earmarked for use as DN13, which has never been used.

Coverage

[edit]

As with many postcode areas in the United Kingdom, the S Area is numbered in various clusters. S1-S14 cover the core urban area of Sheffield, with S17-S36 covering more suburban or rural areas within Sheffield's environs. Postcodes in the range S4x relate to the Chesterfield area. The range S6x relates to Rotherham. S7x relates to Barnsley, and S8x relates to Worksop. Any other postcodes prefixed S are non-geographic in nature.

The approximate coverage of the postcode districts:
