UDCs: Hambridge, Haselbury [Plucknett], Galhampton, Hatch [Beauchamp], Henlade

More UDCs, starting with a couple of examples of the Hambridge UDC, one in blue-grey and one in black (the only example in black currently recorded).

Here is an example of the Hazelbury UDC (now Haselbury Plucknett) used in 1856.  It also has a poor example of the Galhampton udc being used as a receiving mark - Galhampton is less than four miles from South Barrow where the card was addressed to.

The Hatch [Beauchamp] udc is known in yellow and red as well as in blue.  It is possible that the yellow and red examples were both originally red.

Finally here is an example of the Henlade udc from 1857.
