Langford, just over 13 miles SW of Bristol, was in the Bristol Fifth Clause Post from 1805 and then in the Penny Post from 1826. It became an RSO in 1862 and was assigned post office number B24.
Nailsea, 10 miles WSW of Bristol, was made an RSO in 1860 and was issued with post office number B20. The sheet below shows an example of the B20 3HOS cancel on a stamp as well as the B20 3VOS on a postcard.
Paulton, 13 miles SSE of Bristol, was in the Bath Peny Post from 1829 before coming under Bristol by 1841. It was issued with post office number 999 in 1878. Unfortunately I do not have an example on cover, just one on stamp.
