Minehead

As it says in the introduction below, Minehead probably comes from the Celtic 'mynydd' for mountain reflecting the prominence of North Hill.

Minehead had a number of straight line cancels - the first five of which I do not have !  My first example is the common "MINEHEAD/185" handstamp, in use from 1804 to 1843.

 

 

 Minehead also had a Penny Post - here is a poor example of the handstamp used in 1842.

According to Parmenter, Minehead had two horizontal numeric obliterators (3HOS) and one vertical one (3VOS) show below.  There are no duplex cancels.
