BD8

BD8 is a postcode district within the BD postcode area for Bradford, in West Yorkshire, England. It is one of several districts that form the Bradford postcode area and is used in postal addressing, navigation, and regional statistics. The outward code BD8 identifies the broader district, while the full postcode combines this with an inward code (for example BD8 0XX) to designate a more precise area, typically a street or block of addresses. Postcode districts such as BD8 are used by Royal Mail for sorting and delivering mail, and by government agencies, businesses, and mapping services for location reference, planning, and service delivery.

The BD postcode area was created as part of the national postcode system that expanded in the mid-to-late 20th century; BD8 was defined within that framework to cover parts of Bradford and nearby communities. Boundaries of districts can be adjusted over time to reflect population and infrastructure changes, while the inward codes within BD8 provide further granularity.

Beyond its use in the postal system, the term BD8 can appear as an acronym or model identifier in unrelated contexts. This article focuses on the postal district sense of BD8.
