Kenn initially came under Bristol - the sheet below has a cutout of a Climax rubber cancel from1905 - before it transferred to Clevedon in 1935. The post office closed in 2002.
This registered envelope was posted at Keyford, a town sub-office of Frome on 23rd March 1914. The registration etiquette is a Frome one with a blank for the sub-office number ("3") to be entered and happens to be "No. 1" - the sequence number used to track the registered item.
The post office in Kings Hill, Nailsea opened in 1966 and was closed in 2008. The philatelic cover below was sent in 1973 and has "KINGS HILL NAILSEA / BRISTOL" single ring cancels.
The sheet below has items sent from Kingsdon in 1911 and 1975. The stamp on the 1975 cover has a corner cut off - it is possible that the sender was hoping for some extra philatelic markings !
