Barred Numeral Cancels - Clutton, Congresbury

Clutton, 10 miles south of Bristol, was given post office number 008 in 1878.  Only one example of the 3-bar vertical oval cancel is currently known.


Congresbury, 13 miles WSW of Bristol, was in the Bristol Fifth Clause Post from 1805.  It became an RSO in 1860, being issued with post office number B22.



The final example of the B22 3HOS cancel is from April 1905, also with a "CONGRESBURY / BRISTOL" skeleton cancel.
