UDCs: Kingsdon

Here are two examples of the "KINGSDON" udc which was issued in June 1848 under Somerton.  

The first example takes a bit of deciphering - I think what happened was that the wrapper was sent from London to Yeovil on 11th August 1858;  then the wrapper was reused with a second stamp being added and was sent from Kingsdon to Yeovil on 20th August 1858.  Both stamps have been cancelled with  Taunton circular duplex on 20th August;  the right hand stamp has some evidence of a London barred numeral cancel underneath.

The second example is a simpler example on an envelope posted from Kingsdon to London on 31st January 1859.
