I think that the link should look like this:

<a
href="http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?Postcode2Map?code=OX4+2SU&amp;title=Edmund+Gibbs+Location+Map&amp;nolocal=X">

i.e. the link is hardcoded in the page with the &title and &nolocal
namespace variables as &variable=value rather than &amp;variable=value.
