Barred Numeral Cancels - Flax Bourton, Hallatrow

Flax Bourton, seven miles WSW of Bristol, became an RSO in 1861 and was assigned post office number B44.  It had both 3-bar horizontal oval and 3-bar vertical oval cancels.



Hallatrow, 10 miles SW of Bath and 12 miles south of Bristol, was issued with post office number 011 in September 1878.  Here are two examples of the usage of its 3-bar vertical oval cancel.
