Bath town sub office main period sans-serif 25mm UDCs

A number of the town sub-offices in Bath had main period UDCs issued (or re-issued) in December 1853.

Belvidere's UDC was issued in December 1853.  It is known used between September 1852 and March 1856 in black.  The example below is from January 1855.

Brock St's UDC is also in the Steel Impression Book as being issued in December 1853 and is known used in yellow in March 1854 and in blue from April 1855.  The blue example below comes from January 1856 and may be the latest example known.

Grosvenor had two UDCs issued, one in February 1849 and a second in December 1853.  The example below is from April 1857 and is of the second UDC.  The colour looks like brown, but could be a faded red.
