Next some offices under Bridgwater.
Bawdrip had four "BAWDRIP / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps issued, in 1891, 1904, prior to 1911 and in 1917-18 (the latter two handstamps do not appear in the Proof books so we only have a known period of usage from examples found). The example below from April 1912, is of the 3rd handstamp which is known used between August 1911 and October 1917.
Chedzoy had three "CHEDZOY / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps isued, in 1890, prior to the end of 1911 and in 1915. The example below, from October 1911, is of the 2nd handstamp and brings its earliest known usage forward from December 1911. By July 1915 examples of the handstamp show major distortion which prompts its replacement in November 1915.
Chilton Polden had three "CHILTON POLDEN / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps issued in 1893, prior to July 1911 and in June 1919. It also had a skeleton "CHILTON / POLDEN" Type 3 handstamp which is known used in November 1912. The example below is from February 1913 and is of the 2nd Type Ib handstamp.
Combwich had two "COMBWICH / BRIDGWATER" Type Ib handstamps, issued in 1888 and prior to 1918 (not in the Proof books), and a "COMBWICH / BRIDGWATER" Type 3 skeleton handstamp known used in December 1911. Below are three examples from 1907 in violet ink and 1915 and 1916 in black ink.
