Try Trinity College, Cambridge CB2 1TQ. Postcodes
define points for deliver of mail, not a large sprawl of buildings
covering a large chunk of central Cambridge.
When I was in Cambridge, I used a very short address that worked every
time. (Sidney Sussex, Cambridge). I've never had the opportunity to have
such a short address again.
surname,suburb worked for us when I were a nipper, though mostly we
put the road in, and later, a direction.
Presumably your surname isn't Jones and you didn't live in Wales. Even
the road wouldn't help much in some parts of Wales. My father-in-law
during WW2 had an entire platoon of soldiers all named Jones.
I don't know how he managed to keep up with them.
