INDEX  ABBREVIATIONS  FOR  ALDE  VALLEY  COMMUNITIES

¢ $

The following community/location/"loc"/place-name abbreviations are used within Reference-ID's for many of the resources catalogued in our Index.
They are certainly not "cast in stone", but are listed here just to suggest some degree of consistency across our resources when allocating their Ref-IDs.
—   All the 70 or so Alde Valley locations (including hamlets, and even the uninhabited ones) are listed on our Maps page.  
—  The first three characters of a place-name are unique, except for ALD,  BEN, CAM, DUN, MAR, REN and SAX, marked here with a double dagger (‡).  
—  The only other places with inconsistent abbreviations are Blaxhall (BLX), the Glemhams (GGL and LGL), Iken (IKN) and Westleton (WS):  see below.
—  However, some places have additional two- or four-character abbreviations, also listed below.
—  Abbreviations marked with an asterisk (
) are (or, in some combinations, can be) not unique.  
—  Reference ID's prefixed "PD" relate to the 1,200 digital copies of the «Photos-collection Deposit», explained on its own webpage
—  For brevity, Alde Valley locations with none of the exceptions or features listed above are omitted — so just use their first three characters.
