Unlike maps.google.com, the API geocoder only geocodes addresses. If the
address lookup fails it doesn't automatically try performing a business
lookup for you.
Also, the Royal Mail won't give Google permission for the API geocoder
to handle full UK postcodes.
The closest you can get with the API geocoder is
Higher Shaftesbury Rd, Blandford Forum, Dorset DT11
which is unfortunately on the other side of the A50 which would confuse
people trying to drive there. So what you have to do is find the actual
lat/lng and use that instead of doing the geocoding.
It's somewhere near (50.875304,-2.156270)
