Peterborough (PE) Area Overview
The "PE" postcode area, commonly referred to as the Peterborough postcode area, covers parts of eastern England. It spans across areas in the counties of Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Rutland, and a very small part of Suffolk.
Peterborough is a city situated in the East of England, specifically in the ceremonial county of Cambridgeshire. Peterborough's history dates back to the Bronze Age. The city was once known as Medeshamstede in the Anglo-Saxon period, which was the site of a monastery founded in the mid-7th century. The iconic Peterborough Cathedral was established in the 12th century during the Norman period. It's one of the most well-preserved Norman cathedrals in England.
King's Lynn, often simply referred to as Lynn, is a historic market town and port in Norfolk, Eastern England. Situated on the River Great Ouse, it's a few miles from The Wash, a large bay separating Norfolk and Lincolnshire. King's Lynn was one of England's most important ports during the Middle Ages, primarily due to its trade with the Hanseatic League, a commercial and defensive confederation of merchant guilds and market towns.
Skegness is a seaside town on the Lincolnshire coast of the North Sea in England. Often referred to simply as "Skeggy," it's particularly known for its family-friendly attractions and its long sandy beaches. Skegness has been a popular seaside destination since the arrival of the railway in the late 19th century. The town's growth and popularity were closely associated with the expansion of the railway network.
Other postal towns and areas covered by the PE postcode area are Boston, Bourne, Chatteris, Downham Market, Hunstanton, Huntingdon, March, Sandringham, Spalding, Spilsby, St. Ives, St. Neots, Stamford, Swaffham and Wisbech.
