Great Britain Identity Of Victoria Five Shilling Postmark

A recent addition to my collection. One nice find in "A big Box of Stuff" from an auction. I am assuming that the partial circular cancel indicates that this was used in Bristol. Can someone tell me what station the numeral indicates? I find it a nice addition to the mounted collection to identify point of use when possible.

Cynosure surrounds the delivery of hand written correspondence.

Saved that site to my file and thank you. At least I was correct as to the place name. Read "Tess ..." many, many years ago. Have to say that a lot of the Victorian authors were a bit of a hard go for me. By the time I got to Hardy, I was a teenager and tended to find my mind wandering after just a couple of pages. Should really go back and give them another go. Dickens, Scott and Jules Verne, I could manage but Hardy was one that I never could wrap my head around. Thanks to both.

Sorry for the delay in posting - as mentioned I've been crazy busy the last few weeks!

Here's some more Bristol 134 cancellations.



My understanding is Bristol was originally a part of Gloucestershire. Until 1974 it was its own county. I saw a documentary of canals just recently and remember the narrator saying Bristol at one time was the second busiest port after London.

Nice find backroads
