Minehead unboxed "No.2" and "No.3" receiving house handstamps

Although it is believed that the "No.2" receiving house in the Minehead Penny Post was Porlock, the first two of these examples have been written from "Linton Post Office" in 1835 and Lynmouth in 1837.


This third example has been written at Porlock in 1838.

Receiving House "No.3"  was a Holnicote, serving "Selworthy, Allerford and Luccombe".  This example, from 1839, was written at "Lynch" which is probably what is called East Lynch now.
