My postcode is EN for Enfield, but my post town is Hoddesdon, that being where the delivery office is for my part of the EN district. I believe that EN11 8/9/0 all have Hoddesdon as post town - not sure if it goes wider than that. Likewise my parents have a TA postcode for Taunton, but their post town is Crewkerne.
