Should that go to Newport (Isle of Wight), Newport (Gwent), Newport
(Telford & Wrekin), Newport (Hants) or Newport (Essex)? How many
places do you have to send the letter around to find if a Mr Jones
lives there?

Juat Telford & Wrekin.
Newport (Gwent) doesn't have a Station Road in Newport itself.
There are several Station Roads in the area, but the secondary
locations are needed in the address, e.g. Crumlin, NEWPORT.
Similarly for Newport (Isle of Wight).
Newport (Hants) appears to be another way of referring to Newport
(IoW).
Newport (Essex) is Newport, SAFFRON WALDEN.

Hmm. Newport, Essex is the name of the station which is still open, and
Newport, IOW had a station until 1967.
