Taunton after the Uniform Post

The Taunton dated Penny Post handstamp continued to be used as a receiving cancel for a number of years. Here are a couple of examples from 1846 and 1847.

Taunton received a Maltese Cross cancel - here's a rather poor example from 1842.

The numeric obliterator was issued in 1844.  Taunton was number 776.

The double-arc handstamp was also still used at this date.
