Gentlemen I see what you are saying. I too was looking at that also, but kind of convinced myself that it was a C, as the centre line does not appear to be there at all and thinking it seemed a bit too squared up appearing.
I also compared it to the B. At the end of the line. That first letter did not slant or curve around as fast to the right or as much as is seen in that last B. That was my reasoning for considering it C also.
I am just glad there are people here who are very knowledgable, and share that information to help those of us who are looking to gain an education. Thanks to the Rev. guys.

But has anyone an opinion on the placename in cancel?
