Bath Penny Post

I have a couple of examples of Bath Penny Post cancels, one without a date and one with.

This entire, with the undated Penny Post cancel, has a nice Old Down cancel and appears to have gone the long way from Bath to Sherborne if I've got it right.

This entire, with the dated Penny Post cancel, has a manuscript "Paid 2" - is that because it was double weight ?  It also has a "No. 1" receiving house cancel that my copy of the British County Catalogue (1990) does not list.
