Bridg[e]water

A few handstamps from Bridgewater (or Bridgwater depending on when the handstamps are from), starting with a two-line handstamp from 1755.

The entire is written in beautiful copperplate, being a plea for more pairs of stockings.

Next from 1785 is a mileage handstamp, of the early form with the mileage first.

And finally from August 1844 is an early example of the Bridgwater "123" numeric obliterator cancel and an early example of the "BRIDGEWATER" single arc handstamp with code letters.
