In the UK we have postal addresses and geographic addresses. In the main
they're the same but where there isn't a postal address, there's only the
geographic address. There are cases where the postal address and geographic
address are different - such as PO Box numbers where a firm at one address
has their post delivered to another address.

Address: geographic/routing (A description for finding a 'place' - a
(geographic) location; the next 8 bits, a web page etc.
Address: postal post delivery.
