Bridgwater - Numeric Obliterator and Duplex cancels

Bridgwater was office number "123".  The following three sheets illustrate the Bridgwater Numeric Obliterator (or barred numeral cancel), and also the "BRIDGEWATER" double-arc dated cancel.  The first sheet has the four-bar obliterator, the later two have three bars.

 

 

After the numeric obliterator cancels Bridgwater had a variety of duplex cancels.  This sheet shows two examples from 1874 and 1875, with different sizes of town dies.

 The second item above, from 1885, is a delivery note for sacks hired from Bridgwater Docks.
