Question : Postcode to Geographic / OS Info Datasource Required - Similar to Royal Mail Postzon Service

Hi,

I'm after a data source of Postcode to Geographic location info - xml, database something like that. I see there are services you can pay for such as the Royal Mail postzon service, but I guess I'm expecting that this information must be in the public domain somewhere, since it wont change all that often?

I just want to be able to run a postcode lookup service on my database, that can group by postcodes within 15 miles etc.

Does anyone know of a decent source of this info - preferably free??
