Wells

A few more items that I've acquired in the last months, this time from the City of Wells.  Firstly an entire from Wells to London with a "WELLS / 129" with boxed mileage (as opposed to with lines above and below the mileage).

Then a couple of items with Penny Post Receiving House handstamps, both from 1824.  The No.5 Receiving House in the Wells Penny Post was Axbridge, which also used a straight line handstamp.  This entire has both the straight line "AXBRIDGE", a boxed "No.5" and also a "WELLS SOMT / Penny Post" handstamp for good measure.

The second Penny Post item also has the "WELLS SOMT / Penny Post" handstamp along with a boxed "No.15" Receiving House mark.  This entire, from Writhlington, would have travelled via Old Down and that is where the boxed "No.15" handstamp came from - Old Down used the boxed "No.15" handstamp between 1823 and 1826.
