Stephen, "Upon" as well as "on" and "under" are often used where cities maintain their old medieval names.
Newcastle on Tyne, Newcastle under Lyme Ashton under Lyne (note: not Lyme) Stratford on Avon Kingston upon Hull It is normally used to distinguish their name from other places. For example there are at least 3 Newcastle's I know of in totally different areas of the country. Many times the on, under, upon are added hyphenated eg. Newcastle-on-Tyne If in doubt, as Al says the Postcode (like your Zipcode) actually uniquely identifies the place to within a few houses (your blocks) and this is what is used when the mail is being sorted anyway. Name plus house number/road and postcode will always get there.

Is there a rule for use of the word "upon" in address as well? Looking at Kingston upon Hull HU9 5EX One of my ship to addresses that our old reports does. The data in the db has no reference to Kingston upon. I only see Hull and then the postal code in the data presented so far. We paid the vendor for the custom version of our UK BOL report. I am replacing it with a SSRS version that also calls a Certificate of Analysis sub report allowing our staff less key strokes at releasing the truck. -- Stephen Russell Sr. Analyst Ring Container Technology Oakland TN 901.246-0159 cell --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
