Hello, Here is another British Guiana stamp I got recently.It has a nicely centered Kitty cancel. I couldn't find out anything about Kitty other than it is a suburb of Georgetown.Does anyone know anything about Kitty? Thanks david
Kitty was a village near Georgetown, and the end of a mile-and-a-half long seawall completed in 1882 to protect Georgetown from the ocean. Kitty has since been absorbed into Georgetown.
The British Guiana Handbook, 1913, is online, and provides an interesting snapshot of life in the early years of the last century:
