East Anstey (Devon), East Brent, East Pennard, Erdington, Exford

East Anstey is in Devon, about four miles west of Dulverton.  Its post office came under Dulverton until 1932 when it transferred to Tiverton, 13 miles to the south.  The post office closed by 2000.  The date on the postcard below is unreadable but should be before 1932 as the cancel is "EAST ANSTEY / DULVERTON.SOMERSET".

East Brent was originally under Weston-super-Mare before transferring to Bridgwater in 1870.  It then transferred to Highbridge by 1891, which would have been its post town when the two items below were posted.  The second item is a piece from a parcel with 1/9d postage due cancelled by violet framed "CHARGE NOT COLLECTED / FRESH LABEL REQUIRED" cachets in 1956.

The postcard below from East Pennard has an "EAST PENNARD / SHEPTON MALLET" cancel from 1937.  The post office was closed by 1971.

The next two postcards from Erdington were posted on the same day in July 1904 and have identical cancels - both with the year in the "ERDINGTON / SOM" single ring cancel inverted.

 

The postcard below was posted in Exford in 1976.  Exford initially came under Taunton in 1852, then transferred to Minehead RSO, then back to Taunton, then to Dunster RSO, then back to Taunton, then to Dunster, then back to Taunton and finally to Minehead in 1932 !
