The cover below from Bristol in January 1938 has been charged 2d postage due because one of the stamps was 'inadmissable'.
The first tranche of Queen Victoria stamps, those prior to the 1881 "postage and revenue" stamps, were invalidated from 1st June 1901. The Notice was published in The London Gazette on 19th April 1901.
Further Queen Victoria stamps were invalidated from 1st July 1915 by a Notice published in The London Gazette on 21st May 1915.
The information above came from an article by Douglas Muir in the GBPS Journal published in July/August 2002.
