A mix of Minehead

A bit of a mixture from Minehead, for post number 600, beginning with an example of the first Minehead handstamp used, from 1709.

Jumping in time to 1946, this under-franked postcard was charged postage due.  The card was posted in Dunster but was given the "2D / TO PAY / 779" handstamp of Minehead because Dunster had come under Minehead from 1932.

Here is a clear "MINEHEAD / WHERE GLORIOUS / EXMOOR / MEETS THE SEA" local slogan cancel from January 1966.

This (philatelic) envelope from 1980 was compulsorily registered by the Post Office - it was crossed with blue lines with manuscript "Registered" and posted in a letter box.

Finally a registered envelope posted at Avenue, a Town Sub-Office in Minehead, in 1980.
