Bristol Penny Post - Long Ashton & Brislington

Here is an entire with the No.12 Receiving House handstamp for Long Ashton.  It is dated from 6th May 1840 but was prepaid with cash so unfortunately is not a 1d black FDC !  The 1d black postage stamp was issued on the 6th May but offices away from London took some time to get them.

The next series of entires from 1830 to 1840 is for Brislington, which had the No.13 Receiving House handstamp from 1827 (No.13 was Pensford before then).
