Miscellaneous Covers starting with Avonmouth, Axbridge, Banwell, Barrington ....

The next load of posts will be a miscellaneous set of covers starting with an Advice of Delivery of an Inland Registered Letter from 1965.

This next cover also comes from Avonmouth, sent registered in 1937.

Two postcards from Axbridge to South Africa in 1905 go two different Bristol 'Dulwich' transit marks, a "BRISTOL / 28" in April and a "Bristol / 16" in May, and ....

.... unused postcards showing Axbridge.

The envelope below was written and posted in Banwell in 1851 (I wonder if the positioning of the postage stamp was a message to the recipient?).

Finally a postcard from 1953 with a KGVI stamp with a clear "BARRINGTON / ILMINSTER.SOMERSET" cancel.

The Somerset Coast ... in Postcards and Postmarks

This and the following few posts illustrate the Somerset Coast in postcards, ideally with the appropriate postmarks too.  Firstly a map ...
 I've started with Avonmouth, not in Somerset, but the postcard is a fine photograph of the docks.
 Then starting in Somerset proper are a couple of cards from Portishead.
