A few Offices under Bath
Here are a few Offices under Bath, starting with Maiden Bradley in Wiltshire. The postcard has a "MAIDEN BRADLEY / BATH" cancel dated July 1918.
Next is a skeleton from Marston Magna, Bath - the date is unclear apart from the year (1912) but the skeleton handstamp is only known used between 25th and 26th December 1912.
Two cancels from Oakhill, Bath from 1910 and 1918, the second asking "Sending for cider tomorrow - could you sweeten it and charge me the cost as I am run quite out".
This next cancel is for "WELLOW / SOM" while the office came under Bath. The handstamp has no year in it and does not appear to have space for one.
Finally a mourning envelope from Weston, Bath. This is the Weston 3 miles north-west of Bath, not to be confused with Weston-super-Mare.

Weston UDC under Bath
A few weeks ago I posted that:
"Weston's UDC was registered on 2nd November 1844. The example below is currently the only example known.
Since then I've been informed of other examples used on 1st November 1846 and 5th April 1847.

Main period sans-serif 25mm UDCs under Bath
54 of the offices under Bath had main period UDCs issued (there were more than 54 different ones as some places had more than one UDC issued, and many are also known used in multiple colours).
Freshford had three UDCs registered, on 2nd November 1844, on 11th February 1849 and in September 1852. The example below is from the last UDC registered and is from December 1858. Its use was previously unrecorded in the S&DPHG catalogue.
Midford's UDC was registered in September 1852 and is known used in March 1859. Unfortunately the example below has no date.
