Minehead, Lynton, Lynmouth

This first cover appears to be from Lynmouth in 1853 (as evidencd by a blue Lynmouth UDC), going via Minehead and Taunton to South Molton.  It is cancelled by a blue Minehead "779" horizontal oval cancel, with yellow backstamps from Minehead, Taunton and South Molton.

This is a little puzzling as other documentation indicates that Lynton (and Lynmouth as a TSO) were under Barnstaple at that time.

This second cover is from Lynton to Portsmouth in 1907 and has a "LYNTON SO / DEVON" skeleton.  Lynton became a sub-office in 1905.
