It is also easy to find all addresses with a particular post code - the
Post Office has an on-line tool for this

When listing such in newspapers or using online sites, they
occasionally list the postcode/street, but not always.
With post codes, it's often quite easy to find for a particular street
or house number. A quick type of the name of the street and house
number into Google will often bring back hundreds of results listing
properties for sale, house numbers, electoral roll, etc. Often in this
case, I've even seen listing of crimes commited by residences of a
particular street (you can find out who if you pay). So I'm guessing
more than likely the information will have this.

Was that a serious suggestion?
yes, but I can see how it could look flippant. Sorry!
Basically there are not many open data sources of house addresses.
From what I hazily remember the courts already publicly publish on
paper for anyone to view the names and addresses of people
involved. I gathered that they include the addresses because there
may be more than one John Smith going to trial at any one time.
They may also do this for weddings..
I could be wrong, and my memory is fuzzy - hence the email
wondering if they would publish them. If anyone knows, please
enlighten us!
I think it's likely that postcodes are excluded, but you never
know. It's also likely that this information even if published on
paper may not be on an API - makes sense, but again who knows!
If there is a source of addresses, it is useful:
* Mappers can use it to check to see if the street exists and has
been mapped
* Mappers keen on adding in addresses to streets can use it (or a
bot) to validify that there is that number on the specified street.
* FreeThePostcode or other open postcode database etc could be
added to. The postcode and address exists, it can be contributed
to. Assuming the licenses are compatible.

postcodes

"Officials from HMCTS and MOJ will help organise a hack

Possibly useful as a source of the locations of all court
buildings
and related data (not least their postcodes!)
