This is a recipient's address for a formal letter. What is the meaning of "B15 2RX"? This one is from the UK for a formal letter sample.

B15 2RX <~~That just looks like a postal code. http://postal-codes.cybo.com/united-kingdom/B42-2RX_birmingham/

In the US, each address has a 5-digit number, then a hyphen, then a 4-digit number. Mine used to be 92201-6671.

Thank you. I corrected errors.

In the UK, the alphanumeric code "B15 2RX" is known as a post code or a postal code. It is used to identify specific geographic areas for the purpose of sorting and delivering mail. Each part of the code has a particular significance:

1. The first one or two letters of the post code, in this case "B", refer to the postal area or region. In the UK, there are multiple postal areas, each covering a specific geographic region.

2. The following one or two numbers, in this case "15", further narrow down the location within the postal area. These numbers help to identify a specific town or district within the region.

3. The final part of the post code, "2RX", refers to a specific street or section within a town or district. This part of the code helps to pinpoint the precise location within the given area.

Therefore, in the address you provided, "B15 2RX" indicates that the recipient's address is located in the postal area identified by the letter "B", within the town or district identified by the number "15", and on the street or section identified by "2RX".
