Minehead - Squared Circles, Skeletons and the Camp

The first Squared Circle cancels used at Minehead had a time code rather than the time in clear.

 Skeleton cancels were used when the main cancel was not available.  The examples below were probably used because the Squared Circle cancel was being altered ....

 .... to have an explicit time rather than a time code.  The message on this postcard from 1905 refers to the Camp at Minehead.

 The Camp had its own postmark in 1907.  The cancel refers to "MINEHEAD S.O." - Minehead had been under Taunton until 1870 when it became a Railway Sub-Office (RSO) which lasted until 1905 when all the RSOs were converted to either Post Towns or Sub-Offices.
