As a matter of interest, where did 'IG' come from? In my view, its
derivation is the least obvious of all the postcodes. I can work out
all the other slightly obscure ones e.g. SP=Salisbury Plain,
DG=Dumfries & Galloway etc., but the only suggestion I've ever heard
for IG is Ilford & Gants Hill, which seems unlikely.


I always understood it was linked to Ingatestone as being in the
middle (roughly) of the area.


Surely Ingatestone postcodes are CM and are separated from IG by RM in
between?


Yeah, Ingatestone can't have an IG postcode, it's in Essex!
