Continuing ... Bruton, Buckland St Mary, Burnham-on-Sea, Clevedon - and Combe Sydenham

The entire below dated December 1774 has a very clear "BRUTON" handstamp, at the start of its known usage.

The "BRUTON / 142" boxed mileage mark on this entire dated 1808 is much less clear, being towards the end of its known usage from 1802 to 1809.

A Certificate of Posting from Buckland St Mary in 1992 is probably one of the few ways to get a local postmark.

The novelty card below, from Burnham-on-Sea in 1925 was charged postage due as it was treated as a Letter because there was more than the sender's name and address on it.

The envelope below went as Printed Matter and received a "170" triangle machine cancel.  The slogan cancel was in use from 26th October to 1st November 1961 and 1st to 28th November 1962, and there is a pencil annotation on the reverse of "11/62" which matches the second period of usage.

And finally a picture illustrating Combe Sydenham, Somersetshire in 1765.  Combe Sydenham did not have a post office.
