A Couple of Bath Town Offices

The next lot of posts are going through some fairly recent acquisitions (in alphabetical order starting with "BATH").  Firstly here is circular receiving mark for "CLEVELAND.PLACE / BATH" from 1878, on a letter going to Bristol.

And secondly here are two registered covers from Widcombe Parade, Bath - the first of which from 1897 has a manuscript "Widcombe Parade" written across the registration fee.

The second cover has a steel "WIDCOMBE PARADE / BATH" single ring cancel.  According to the proof books there were four Widcombe Parade single ring cancels issued between 1871 and 1893.
