Long Sutton UDC, 1847

The One Penny postal stationery envelope below has a red "LONG SUTTON" double-arc undated handstamp (UDC) used on 6th May 1854, currently the earliest known example.  The UDC was issued on 19th April 1847.

Long Sutton was issued the UDC handstamp in 1847 when it was under Somerton.  From the cover above Long Sutton appears to have moved to be under Langport by 1854, though it had transferred to Taunton by 1855.

Bleadon, Brean, Buckland St Mary, Long Sutton

Some more places that I mostly haven't covered before, starting with two postcards from Bleadon, one from 1909 and the other 1930 (apparently using the same handstamp).

This next item is from Brean, under Burnham-on-Sea, in 1958.

This postcard from Buckland St Mary in 1910 is written in a simple substitution code.

Finally a postcard from Long Sutton, with the year in the cancel unreadable.  I have posted an item from Long Sutton before, here, with a self-inking datestamp.

A couple of modern errors

A couple of very recent counter self-inking date stamps from Somerset (note spelling) with surprising errors, for which thanks to Norvic (of Norvic Philatelics):

Street, Somerset - with an extra 'M', SOMMERSET - 5 JU 17 (date not clear)

And the village of Long Sutton, Langport, Somerset has 'Sutton' instead of 'Somerset' - 14 JU 17
