The NP postcode area, also known as the Newport postcode area, is a group of eighteen postcode districts, which are subdivisions of fourteen post towns. These cover south-east Wales, including Newport, Pontypool, Abergavenny, Monmouth, Chepstow, Abertillery, Usk, Tredegar, New Tredegar, Ebbw Vale, Crickhowell, Blackwood, Caldicot and Cwmbran, plus a small part of the English counties of Gloucestershire and Herefordshire.
The RM postcode area, also known as the Romford postcode area, is a group of twenty postcode districts in south-east England, within nine post towns. These cover parts of east London and southwest Essex. Inward mail for the area is sorted, along with mail for the E and IG postcode areas, at the Romford Mail Centre. In east London, the area covers most of the London Borough of Havering (including Romford, Hornchurch, Rainham and Upminster), the eastern part of the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham (including Dagenham itself) and a small part of the London Borough of Redbridge. In Essex, the area covers most of the Thurrock unitary district (including Grays, Purfleet, South Ockendon and Tilbury), while RM4 covers small parts of the Epping Forest District and the Borough of Brentwood.
The CR postcode area, also known as the Croydon postcode area, is a group of eight postcode districts in England, within ten post towns. These cover parts of southern Greater London and north-east Surrey. The main sorting office is in Croydon, and the area served includes most of the London Borough of Croydon, as well as adjacent parts of Merton, Sutton and Bromley. Most of CR3 and CR6 cover the northern part of the Surrey borough of Tandridge , and a part of CR5 covers the northern part of the Surrey borough of Reigate and Banstead. Croydon was the second town, after Norwich, to have experimental postcodes, introduced in 1966. This trialled the postcode area CRO (letter 'O'), while Norwich used NOR for its equivalent. It was decided that the outward (first) part of a postcode should be alphanumerical, so CRO became CR0 (with a zero) and NOR became NR1. The CR1 postcode has not been introduced, making CR the only postcode area with a district 0 but not a district 1. Originally there were only the districts CR0, CR2, CR3 and CR4 - in the 1990s CR5 was split from CR2, CR6 and CR8 were split from CR3, and CR7 from CR4. The CR0 postcode district covers the largest population in the UK.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
