UDCs from Hatch [Beauchamp], Sidcote and Stapleton

Another three UDCs, firstly one in blue from Hatch [Beauchamp] which was issued under Ilminster in June 1845.  An example in yellow is known from September 1845, another in red in 1846 and it is known in blue between February 1848 and November 1855. but was used under Taunton.  By 1846 Hatch Beauchamp had transferred to Taunton so all the examples in blue are under Taunton.

Next an example of the Sidcote UDC from May 1849.  The UDC was issued in December 1847 under Wells and is known used between July 1848 and June 1849.  The reverse has a Bristol double arc dated handstamp with two breaks cut in the arcs, other examples of which are transit marks from Bristol Temple Meads station.

Finally a Stapleton UDC from March 1855 which is later than the end of the previously known usage (March 1845 to July 1854).
