They chose where the sorting offices were and from that where the lines
of communication went, that is why Market Bosworth (a long way inside
Leicestershire) has a Nuneaton, Warwickshire postcode/postal address and
why Barmouth on the Welsh coast has a Shrewsbury postcode.

Postcodes are a good way to deliver mail, they are pretty rubbish for
anything else.
