Some Ilminster PAID marks from the 1960s with Council Rates demands

These first couple of sheets haven't been written up yet but they all relate to the payment of Council Rates, starting with 1960 (May and October) ...

... then 1961 and 1966.  Sent as Printed Matter, the rate was 2d from ast June 1956, going up to 2½d on 1st October 1961 and 3d on 17th May 1965 ....

... and finally 1965 and 1967.   The top cover has the inside of the dater inverted and has the time inserted but no year (the year can be deduced from the contents).

Here are the contents of the May 1960 rates cover, and the receipt for payment of £4 - 1s - 4d.
