Wellington, Weston-super-Mare, Williton and Wiveliscombe

Some more "W"s that have appeared on my desk, starting with a Wellington skeleton from March 1915 - the cancel is "WEL INGTON / SOM" with missing letters.

Next are a couple of postage due items from Weston-super-Mare, firstly an unfranked envelope from 1940 with two different "TO PAY" handstamps, the first (incorrect) one being crossed out in pencil.

... and secondly an underfranked postcard with a nice framed TO PAY cachet from 1958.

Moving on, the next item is a newspaper wrapper, also from Weston-super-Mare, with a red PAID handstamp from 1979 ...

... and then another newspaper wrapper from Williton with a red postage paid meter frank from 1981.

And finally two Wiveliscombe items, firstly "WIVELISCOMBE R.S.O. / SOMERSET" cancels from 1905 and 1908 (the RSO terminology was dropped in 1905) ...

... and a "WIVELISCOMBE - S.O / SOMERSET" cancel from 1918.
