A few bits of Bath, starting with an entire with a straight-line "BATH" from 1793 going to Wiveliscombe near Wellington. It also has an "[A]PR:4" handstamp thought to be applied at Wellington.
The contents relate to the Bath and West of England Agricultural Society.
Moving on to 1841, this 1d Pink Postal stationery envelope still has its contents, which adds evidence to the unboxed "No.1" receiving house handstamp coming from Norton St. Philips. The contents relate to The Anti-Corn Law Bazaar of 1842.
Next jump is to 1878 with a registered letter from Midsomer Norton to Upton Lovell, Wilts., which could not be delivered. At that time both Midsomer Norton and Upton Lovell came under Bath.
Here is an International Reply Coupon from Bath in 1965 and a Commonwealth Reply Coupon from Bath in 1970.
And finally here is a modern commemorative cover from 1995, signed by the Marquess of Bath.
