UDCs: Hambridge, Haselbury [Plucknett], Galhampton, Hatch [Beauchamp], Henlade

More UDCs, starting with a couple of examples of the Hambridge UDC, one in blue-grey and one in black (the only example in black currently recorded).

Here is an example of the Hazelbury UDC (now Haselbury Plucknett) used in 1856.  It also has a poor example of the Galhampton udc being used as a receiving mark - Galhampton is less than four miles from South Barrow where the card was addressed to.

The Hatch [Beauchamp] udc is known in yellow and red as well as in blue.  It is possible that the yellow and red examples were both originally red.

Finally here is an example of the Henlade udc from 1857.

Henlade, Hewish, High Ham

Carrying on with the alphabetical tour of places I haven't blogged before, the postcard below is from Henlade, sent in August 1918.

The next two sheets are from Hewish, starting with two different single ring handstamps, the first with a horizontal "HEWISH" in 1880 and the second with a curved "HEWISH" in 1884.

This next sheet has two different double circle double-arc cancels, the first a 'Dulwich' type from 1925 and the second a 'Birmingham' type from 1975.

The philatelic registered cover below was sent from High Ham in 1975 - it is an uprated Letter Card.
