The Somerset County Gazette is a weekly tabloid newspaper sold through most of Somerset except for the eastern and north-eastern parts; it’s mainly distributed around Taunton, Minehead and Wellington. It was founded in 1836 and is published by Newsquest (South West) Ltd, who are collocated with the newspaper’s editorial offices in Taunton. It comes out on Thursdays and appears in two editions: a Main edition and a West Somerset edition.
A Slogan cancel celebrating 150 years of the Somerset County Gazette was used in 1986 in Taunton. For the first month of use the wrong daters were used on the First and Second class mail.
Although I have no connection to Somerset, this blog is by far my favorite philatelic site.
