Barred Numeral Cancels from Offices under Bristol - Blagdon, Burrington

The next series of posts will go through most of the Offices under Bristol which had barred numeral cancels, for those Offices that are in Somerset rather than in Gloucestershire.

First alphabetically comes Blagdon, some 15 miles SSW of Bristol.  It was issued with post office number B26 when it became an RSO in 1861.  Blagdon under Bristol should not be confused with Blagdon under Taunton, which was later renamed Blagdon Hill.

Blagdon had both a 3-bar horizontal oval cancel (3HOS) and a 3-bar vertical oval cancel (3VOS).

Burrington, some 13 miles SSW of Bristol, was also issued with a post office number, B25, when it became an RSO in 1860.
