Comments

There is a postcode dataset called HEXAPOST but it is not open data and it does not provide geospatial coordinates. You can purchase it for around 500 euros from a private provider. Furthermore, there is no other official open dataset that provide geospatial information for detailed adresses or towns. So according to the definition, postcode dataset does not exist.
