Williton

I've already posted up the first item for Williton - the "No.6" receiving house handstamp from the Taunton Penny Post.  Williton was in the Taunton Penny Post after the 1828 reorganisation of the Taunton Penny Post.
In 1844 number "777" was allocated to Williton.
Williton became a Railway Sub-Office (R.S.O.) in 1870, then came under Taunton again in 1895.  Here is a squared circle cancel from 1904.
Williton was briefly a Post Town between 1909 and 1911.  This skeleton cancel was in use from 12th to 24th December 1909.
And finally a selection of double circle couble-arc cancels from 1933 to 1974.
