Here's a bit of material that I've just acquired - in October I attended the Somerset & Dorset Postal History Group Autumn meeting in Chard and acquired this large photograph.
The photograph is about 28x20 cm and is not annotated apart from the printer, who was J. Bell & Sons, Shepton Mallet. The inference is that these were the Royal Mail staff in Shepton Mallet.
By a significant coincidence a few days later I acquired the postcard below.
The postcard has the same picture and is helpfully labelled on the back "P O officals Shepton Mallet 1905". It was posted in Pilton on 17th November 1905 (the cancel is known used from 1895 to 1913).
