West Town

West Town in Somerset is adjacent to Backwell, about eight miles south-west of Bristol.  These two covers bear "WEST-TOWN" double arc undated cancels.  The first entire is from June 1846 and is in black ...

... while the second, much less clearly struck, is from August 1857 in blue.  This is almost the last known usage of the handstamp.
