Wells

To break up all the Bath handstamps (more to come later), here are a couple of items from Wells, starting with a Free front franked by the Bishop of Bath & Wells, George Henry Law, from Wells to Sandwich.

It was franked and posted on 9th January 1840, the last day of the uniform fourpenny post and the last day of franking privilege, and has a London Free mark dated 10th January 1840, the first day of the uniform penny post.

Secondly here is a postcard with a Wells Krag machine cancel from August 1935.
