M postal area
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The M postal area, or Manchester postal area, is a group of several postal districts in Greater Manchester, England. The area is divided into three post towns : Manchester, Salford, and Sale. The Manchester post town forms most of the area, and the other two post towns are enclaves within it. It includes parts of all Greater Manchester boroughs except for Stockport, and borders the postal areas of BL (Bolton), OL (Oldham), SK (Stockport), WA (Warrington) and WN (Wigan). The entirety of the metropolitan district of the City of Manchester itself is included within the area, except for Ringway, which is in WA15. The postal area also includes nearly all of the City of Salford and most of the borough of Trafford.
