Foreign mail from Portishead, and one to Bath

The envelope below went from Portishead to Geneva in July 1852 and has nice clear "PORTISHEAD" udc in blue.  I do not know why it was charged 1/4d rather than 1/5d.

The next cover is from Portishead to Ceylon sent in August 1865, with a "PORTISHEAD" single ring dated mark on the reverse.

The Portishead single ring is known used from 1862 to 1937;  here is another example from 1871 going to Bath.
