Yet more UDCs, starting with Oakhill (under Bath) from November 1845.
... "RADSTOCK" from April 1846.
This example of the "SHEPTON-BEAUCHAMP" udc is currently the only example recorded.
The "SION-HILL" udc from August 1845 is currently the earliest example known.
Stourton is in Wiltshire but was issued a UDC under Bath in October 1853.
The envelope below, with a "WEDMORE" udc, was sent to the USA and has markings that indicate that it went on a British ship.
... a "WINSFORD" udc from November 1857.
... and an earlier example from July 1854, currently the earliest known usage.
And finally (alphabetically) here is a seriffed "YATTON" udc from October 1848 on a Registered Letter. The registration fee had to be paid in cash while postage had to be paid in stamps.
