I don't think there is one on this site.
I have seen them before and can't remember where, have checked poi plaza and can't see them.
I think they were on a page that was for HGVs and coaches because there were low bridges, narrow lanes (unsuitable roads) and the like.
I don't think there were that many actual estates listed in them mind. _________________ Triumph Tbird 1700. And now a Bonnie T100. |

I have a list of nearly 4,000 which I am in the process of "cleaning", ready for submission to the POI section. Hope to have it ready sometime next week.
It is not a complete list, but was put on the back-burner when more important things had to be attended to. _________________ Richard

I am waiting with anticipation for that POI Oldboy. My job (Telcoms & IT) means that I regularly visit Business Parks and Industrial Area's.

Whilst Richards work upon compilation of a set Poi's for Industrial Estates and Business Parks is to be applauded I would have thought a post code for whoever you want to visit would serve almost as well if not better in some cases ![Question](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_question.gif) |

I thought that to until I had to goto the Gloucester City link depot.
The postcode took me to KFC on Bristol Road. When I actually found the place it was 2 miles further on up Bristol Road by MacDonalds near Junction 12 on the M5. The postcode was corredt to, it does stretch over a large area!!!
That is just one example, I'm sure there are more. |

Try finding some of the places on Technology Parks from Postcodes! One postcode can cover the entire place and they are like a maze! |

This is where I find Live earning it's corn! More and more these days, I'm using Google Search of the postcode, whereupon I get a list of all the business premises there and can trawl through the list until I get the firm I'm looking for. Navigate to that usually sorts out the postcode wide band issues. The alternative again with Live's Google Search is to search for the firm.
Nice one today - I had a delivery to Alan Turing Hall, part of Manchester University, so I just searched Manchester for Alan Turing Hall and it put me right on the button. Impressive.
Here's a result for CityLink Gloucester, does it look familiar?

From the CityLink web page http://www.city-link.co.uk/our-locations/location/gloucester.html) the Google map takes you to a different location. There seems to be two different Post Codes which threw nOv...

No, that website Google map Gloucester location is spot on my screenshot - mine is very zoomed in, but it's "just" north of M5 Jct 12 (junction with the A38 in my screenshot).
You mean your office team actually helps? Mine simply regurgitates whatever they end up with in the Chinese whispers game of details taken over the phone - they gave me "Star Brooks" very carefully spelled out by them the other day - it was Starbucks coffee shop (but under construction). If I were doing their job, I'd rip straight into Royal Mail website, Google maps, Google search and you name it before I passed an address to my drivers. I do that myself every time I get a call when I'm by my PC at home - the number of times it's saved me a lot of grief out on the road! ![Rolling Eyes](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) _________________ Dennis

Yep, 'fraid So Dennis. It also helps that the vans are tracked by TrakM8 and followed in the office, which is fine by me. Nothing to hide and all to gain ![Rolling Eyes](modules/Forums/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif) |

Yes, pretty much as close as that. Believe me, it can help some drivers, especially at night time...Civil Liberties...Invasion, I don't think so. Its not as though I plan to drive more miles than necessary to pay more taxes. Every penny I earn is taxed !!! |
