New Year Miscellany: Chard, Dulverton, Highbridge, Somerton, Wellington

A Miscellany of items for the New Year, in alphabetical order starting with a Chard mileage mark from 1829 with a crossed-out inspector's mark and charge correction.

An item from Dulverton to Mr Hancock (the solicitor) near Wiveliscombe with a Tiverton Penny Post handstamp.

An Airgraph sent to Highbridge for Christmas 1944.

A rather messy entire from Somerton to Yeovil with a blurred Maltese Cross and a blurred double-arc dated handstamp from 1841.

And finally a Wellington two-bar vertical oval obliterator, not in Parmenter, used to cancel a wrapper that was probably sent to Weston-super-Mare as Printed Matter.
