As a bit of change, here are some Somerset postmarks from places that begin with "C", starting with a couple of examples of the Cannington undated circular handstamp (UDC), firstly in black in 1848 ...
... then in brown in 1851.
The postcard below from Cheddar to Cardiff in September 1948 was underfranked at 1d. The Postcard Rate had been 2d since 1st May 1940.
A registered envelope sent in July 1940 gives an example of the Chilcompton cancel and registration etiquette.
The early Climax rubber cancels were in violet because the standard black ink caused the handstamps to deteriorate. Here is a nice clear example of the Chilton Polden cancel from 1904 on a parcel post label.
Churchill's cancel is used here on a first day cover in April 1980.
And finally here is another registered envelope, this time giving examples of the Churchinford cancel and registration etiquette in April 1939.
