Bath and the G.W.R.

Here are a couple of Great Western Railway items associated with Bath, starting with an envelope from April 1894 with a GWR 2d stamp - there was an additional fee for the conveyance of letters by railway of double the normal postage charge.  Both the GWR stamp and the normal stamp are cancelled by "BATH / 53" 3-bar vertical oval duplex cancels.

This second item from February 1908 also has a 2d GWR stamp, but in this case both stamps  are cancelled by double framed "G.W.R / BATH" rectangular cancels.
