Bristol - 1960s

 Some items from Bristol in the 1960s starting with an OHMS envelope in April 1966 with a violet "HEAD POSTMASTERS OFFICE / BRISTOL" cachet.

The envelope below from Glasgow to Bristol was damaged in February 1967 and received a label saying that "The Postmaster is very sorry that tthis packet has been accidentally damaged in the post." and bearing a "BRISTOL" single ring handstamp.

The postal stationery envelope below has been uprated from 4d to 5d when the postal rate went up in 16th September 1968.   This rate remained in force until Decimalisation on 15th February 1971.

Another First Day of Use, this time for Machins on 27th August 1969, with the envelope below being cancelled with "BRISTOL / 24" double circle double line-arc cancels.
