Came across these two gems while sorting through some UK material. Just wondering if anyone can provide information on the pictured cancels.

This first one is a large 'WF", does anyone recognize this?


Here is the second one. This appears to show a map of the Swansea bay and area. What would be the 'valley' name and/or the occasion for this fancy cancel?

Thanks for any and all assistance.

The first is a commercial overprint and not a cancellation. It was applied by a company.

The other might be West Glamorgan (Lliw Valley):



Edit: slogan postmark. May have been sponsored by the local government to afvertise the region.

Id suggest the Slogan Postmark is identifying the conurbation of the district.
