P.O.W. Camp No.124, Ashton Gate

 Based on the address written on the POW card below, P.O.W. Camp 124 was Bedminster Camp at Ashton Gate, Bristol.  The card below was sent in February 1947.

There was a nearby camp, Camp 6A, at Ashton Court, in use between 1939 and 1948.  Camp 124 at Ashton Gate was later, as was Camp 124a at Bedminster.  These may have been replacements for Camp 6A.

Allerford, Ashton Gate

I've started going through my covers looking for places that I haven't covered yet, so these first sheets come from the "A"s - starting with a couple of sheets come from Allerford, the first with two postcards, from 1911 and from 1931, both with "ALLERFORD" single ring cancels.

By 1960 Allerford had a double circle "ALLERFORD / MINEHEAD SOMERSET" cancel.

This last item is a Prisoner of War postcard from  Camp No.124, which was at Ashton Gate, Bedminster, sent in November 1946.
