Barton St David and Bicknoller UDCs

 A couple of sheets with UDCs, starting with Barton St David.  Barton St David was under Taunton, then Langport RSO, then Somerton, then transferring back to Taunton in 1907.  Itthen transferred to Somerton again in 1950, and was closed in 1989.

Here are two Climax rubber cancels, the first from 1906 when it was under Somerton and the second a skeleton rubber cancel from 1913 when it was back under Taunton.

This second sheet has a Climax rubber cancel from Bicknoller in 1906 (or 1908).  It is very similar to the one that was issued in September 1891 but is very slightly different in the lengths of the words.  There was a third cancel known used from 1900-1905.
