Frome

Here is an interesting item - it has a "FROOME" straight line handstamp that is not in the BCC, unless it is the top line of SO 493 "FROOME / 115" that is rarity Z (archives only).  It also bears a London Free mark and an Inspector's mark because (a) it was addressed to an MP (Thos Everett MP) but (b) he had died and been replaced by his son so that the entire was no longer addressed to an MP.

Next a Free Front from Frome in 1838 with an unboxed "No.2" receiving house handstamp.

And finally a postcard from Frome in 1952 with a red diamond census mark.
