UDCs: Porlock, Stogumber, West Quantoxhead, Wrantage

A few more UDCs, starting with one from Porlock in September 1851.  The Porlock UDC was issued in September 1845 under Taunton, and the example below is currently the only recorded example.

The UDC below from Stogumber in December 1846 is rather faint - it has been labelled as yellow but I think it may have been red.  Determining colours is always tricky and rather depends on the lighting and on how the postmark has aged.

The West Quantoxhead UDC below is definitely in red and is dated April 1856.  The UDC was issued on September 1851 under Bridgwater.  One example in black is known in October 1851 and one example in red (this cover).

And finally an UDC from Wrantage used in January 1859, currently the latest recorded example.  The UDC was issued in June 1852 under Taunton.
