A series of covers from Yeovil starting with a 4-bar vertical oval (4VOD) cancel from 1870. It's sometimes difficult to date these, but in the example below there is a manuscript date on the reverse of 9th December 1870.
The large OHMS envelope below was sent in August 1900 and has oval "REGISTERED / YEOVIL" cancels.
A postcard to Trowbrige om June 1927 with a "YEOVIL.SOM" Krag cancel - and a sticker for Yeovil Carnival.
More modern now, some meter mail from Yeovil with a triangular Royal Mail Quality Control Yeovil cachet saying that the meter mark has the wrong date - firms had to remember to update the date manually at the start of a new day.
And finally a certificate of posting with a Yeovilton Royal Navy Station postmark from April 1995, and a Savings Certificate form with a preprinted address for the post office.
