Great Western Railway Bath

Here are two items of mail that were conveyed by the Great Western Railway before going in the General Post.  As such they paid an additional fee for conveyance by the railway of double the general post rate, hence the 2d charge for the railway with the 1d charge for the normal post.

This first item is from 1894, and has post office cancels (3-bar vertical oval duplex cancels) on both the railway and the normal postage stamp.

The scond item is from 1908, and has G.W.R. cancels on both the stamps.

West Pennard with Railway Connections

Here are two covers from December 1930 with West Pennard cancels, both with railway connections.  The first has a seal on the reverse for "The Southern Railway Company" while the second is a Notice of Arrival of Merchandise from the Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway.
