All you have found is the centre of the postcode which on the map could be a green field, i suspect the address that the poster wants is within a shopping centre or an industrial estate which will not be shown .
Streetmap fares no better http://www.streetmap.co.uk/newmap.srf?x=458251&y=303212&z=0&sv=LE2+7FA&st=2&pc=LE2+7FA&mapp=newmap.srf&searchp=newsearch.srf.

Just navigate to the Postcode and you will not be far away and ask the locals if they look friendly.

i was merely showing him where it was so that he could at least get there even if TomTom wouldnt route him there.

Sorry didn't mean to offend i have found out the reason the street was demolished in 2003 and a new development has been built for student accommadation for the local uni
