Bristol ... various

A random selection of Bristol marks, starting with a Bristol Penny Post in red from Hotwells, which had the boxed "No.1" handstamp at the time (later it had "No.2" while Clifton had "No.1").

Next an entire from 1829, posted too late to make the post.

From 1847 here is a Bristol 4HOS type A, with the rounded top to the "3".

A commemorative cover from 1970, celebrating the return of the SS Great Britain to Bristol.

And finally, with single ring "COLSTON STREET BRISTOL 1" cancels, a philatelic first day cover for the 1946 Victory issue.
