Former scheme

Before the introduction of postcodes in the 1960s, Birmingham along with other major cities were divided into numbered postal districts. With a few exceptions these were directly incorporated into the outcode (the first part of the postcode). For example,

was formerly ''Birmingham 22'' (now B43 and 44) and

was formerly Smethwick 40 and 41 (now B66 and 67).
