Please, Mr. Postman (Posted on 2005-12-02) Difficulty: 2 of 5
Paul is writing to his overseas sweetheart. He writes a steamy love letter, seals the envelope, and then inscribes the following cryptic address on the front:
                   Wood
                         Av 
                   Lynn 
                   England
Fortunately, the letter reaches its intended recipient (lucky Paul that the postman knew a lot about encrypting techniques). What is the complete name of Paul's sweetheart and her whole address?

(In reply to My guess by Ken Haley)

In the format given, there are 6 blanks of which two most likely would be spaces between a numeral, the 3 letter Name and the title of Av.

eg 3 Dot Av

I did consider a five letter Name but they don't properly fit with the criteria that all seem to be following; my others - First, Third, Sixth Ninth and Tenth - all have 5 letters which complies with 6 blanks but ...... ???

But then we could an address that describes the number and nature of the void of 5 (6) blanks, like:
                 5 [something]space Av,
                 5 Void Av
