Wincanton, September 1904, with an incorrect postmark

Wincanton went between being a post town, a sub-office and being under Bath.  The postmarks did not always catch-up with the latest status.

From 1875 it was under Bath, then it became an independant Sub Office in August 1904, then came back under Bath in November 1904, becoming a Sub Office / Post Town again in November 1906. 

The postcard below is dated September 1904 (when it should be an independant Sub Office) but is cancelled with a "WINCANTON / BATH" cancel.
