Postmarks from Bath Town Subs Offices (TSOs) - Widcombe Parade and Yomede Park

It is quite difficult to find examples of postmarks of Town Sub-Offices as they only handstamped a few types of items (eg. registered mail, PO Savings Books).  Here are a couple of examples of Bath TSOs, firstly from Widcombe Parade - a registered envelope from 1953.

This second item is from Yomede Park, part of a registered item from 1937.

A Couple of Bath Town Offices

The next lot of posts are going through some fairly recent acquisitions (in alphabetical order starting with "BATH").  Firstly here is circular receiving mark for "CLEVELAND.PLACE / BATH" from 1878, on a letter going to Bristol.

And secondly here are two registered covers from Widcombe Parade, Bath - the first of which from 1897 has a manuscript "Widcombe Parade" written across the registration fee.

The second cover has a steel "WIDCOMBE PARADE / BATH" single ring cancel.  According to the proof books there were four Widcombe Parade single ring cancels issued between 1871 and 1893.
