Frome

Some items from Frome starting with two examples of the "FROME / 115" mileage mark, from 1816 (with a red London Inspector's mark) and from 1819.

 

Next, from January 1842, is a 1d pink postal stationery envelope with a Frome maltese cross cancel and a boxed "No.2" receiving house handstamp.  It is thought that the boxed "No.2" handstamp was in use at Beckington.

From 1923 and 1946 are two different red "PAID" handstamps, for ½d from 1923 and for 1d from 1946.

And finally an over-large postcard from September 1927 that was charged postage due as it was liable to the Letter Rate.
