Boxed "No.18" Receiving House handstamp from Oakhill in the Bath Penny Post, 1831

The wrapper below, from Ashwick based on the filing note, has a partially boxed "No.18" receiving house handstamp underneath the red London PAID mark, used at Oakhill about 1 mile north of Ashwick.  It went to Old Down and then to Bath on its way to London in August 1831.


 The boxed "No.18" receiving house handstamp was in use at Kingsdown.  This is the first known usage at Oakhill.  Oakhill was using an unboxed "No.18" handstamp from 1832.
