Main period sans-serif 25mm UDCs under Chard and Crewkerne

Chard had eight sub-offices with main period UDCs while Crewkerne had two.  I've got one example from each.

Wadeford's UDC under Chard was issued on 5th November 1855.  Its usage is not recorded in the S&DPHG catalogue - here is an example from August 1859.

Hazelbury's UDC under Crewkerne was issued on 26th December 1855 and is recorded used in black in December 1856 and in blue in March 1859.  This blue example from 15th January 1858 predates the other known usage.
