I have to say that's a beauty of a postmark. Great find!!

Echo Bobby, lovely Pmk.
Bottom of the ring would be code "CS" Could be CS or CX

Your stamp increases the LKU (Last Known Use) by 3 years.

2nd July 1897 to 31st July 1902.

Found this one on Delcampe

Continental Night Mail was 4d apparently.

Vayolene's cover extends LKU again for the CX code.
Our LKU DB was 1901

and, apparently fee reduced from 4d to 2d

Thanks Vayolene and thanks all.

If my understanding is correct, this premium service was mainly for London and surrounding areas. There was a morning cutoff time for that evening's service. If you were outside London, the cutoff time was earlier. Service was from London to Dover, and then across the channel.

You could circumvent the cutoff time (for one, or several hours) by paying a late fee, which was not always apparent from the franking, or "late fee" markings on the cover.

Please let me know if I am in error. Thanks again all.

I cannot find anything on Continental Night Mail, in any of my references, including "Collect British Postmarks"

The Service was available as early as 1884, yet no images in Hendy, some brief notes only.
There exists a lovely Duplex hammer with the killer a multi Bar CX1

My understanding matches yours.

London and Southampton were packet offices for the Continental mails,
