Some Taunton acquisitions

A fairly random selection of Taunton related handstamps, presented in date order - first a "TAUNTON / 161" handstamp from 1808.

Next a Taunton Penny Post item with a "No.12" handstamp (North Curry) from 1842.

Moving on to 1857, here is a Taunton sideways duplex cancel.

And finally a postal stationery card with a "EAST.REACH / TAUNTON" cancel, soon after East Reach (a mile east of Taunton centre) opened as a Money Order & Savings Bank office.
