Plymouth's naval heritage and post-war rebuild
Plymouth is one of England's most historically significant naval cities and was substantially rebuilt after heavy Second World War bombing. The city centre and inner suburbs (PL1–PL4) have a high proportion of 1950s–1960s terraces and mid-rise blocks, alongside Victorian stock in Peverell, Mutley, and Stoke. The outer suburbs — Plymstock (PL9), Plympton (PL7), and Derriford (PL6) — have significant post-war and modern housing. The PL postcode area also extends across the Tamar to Saltash (PL12) and Torpoint (PL10/PL11) in Cornwall, and inland to Tavistock (PL19) and Ivybridge (PL21).
