Roads filed under OX49
Named roads first, then numbered ones. A road is filed under one district even where it runs through several, so a street missing here may be listed under a neighbouring district — which is why the address lookup never calls a British street absent. Great Britain has no open register of buildings, so a listed road never means a building on it exists.

- That the address lies in the OX49 district of the OX (Oxford) postcode area, and the place OS Open Names most often lists first for its postcodes is Watlington.
