Until the West Midlands was formed in 1974, the whole of the WS postcode area was in West Staffordshire. Since then it has also come to be known as the Walsall postcode area.[2] It is a group of fifteen postcode districts in England, with six post towns. These cover the northern part of the West Midlands (including Walsall and Wednesbury) and much of south-east Staffordshire (including Lichfield, Cannock, Burntwood and Rugeley).
