Hi, this thread is a bit old, but this info might still be helpful.

A free database of all UK postal towns and traditional county names - Association of British Counties. There was one or two towns missing, I have a corrected list (I'm not sure if the one on ABC site has been fixed yet). Drop me an email if interested. We used this list as one of the data sources while compiling our address lookup webservice, so I can confirm that it is good and has been cross-checked against the Royal Mail PAF database.

Also there are a number of companies that supply detailed postcode and address data for a modest fee (ours included).... but that would be blowing our horn a bit too much ;-)

Adam.
