Wedmore Parcel Post Label, 1904

The Parcel Post Label (PPL) below is for "WEDMORE (WON) / (Under Weston-Super-Mare)", and was for a parcel of 2-3 lb.  The KEVII 5d stamp is cancelled with a Bristol roller cancel.

On the Parcel Post Label, "WON" is the telegraphic code for Wedmore, and the post office came under Weston-super-Mare.  This PPL however was cancelled at Bristol - it seems that the parcel service operated differently from the ordinary mail.
