1 SOUTH MIDLANDS used with Revenue Protection label

2 Can this mark be attributed? It was on a cover from Leeds to Kirkcaldy. I am guessing it is an arrival mark in Kirkcaldy or a Scottish transit mark because of the E.

CMJ - I second Honza; really nice items! And Honza, your own offerings are also very interesting, as are locakart's and Xtopher's.

Continuing with the Shetland Isles:

Skerries, Shetland, 15 AP 85, code * at top. This is a particularly remote settlement, shown on maps as Out Skerries.
Image

The island of Whalsay had two post offices in recent times.
Symbister, Whalsay, Shetland, 9AU67, code * at top.
Image

Symbister, Whalsay, Shetland, 7JA86, different device with longer side arcs and no code.
Image

The second post office was at Brough.
Brough, Whalsay, Shetland, 5FE75, no code.

Hi Bazza

I recognise that last one! It's Bury - Bolton - Wigan. The slogan reads Royal Mail / Famous Trains / on china plates / by Wedgewood / Tel: 031-550 8988. "Wedgewood" should have been "Wedgwood"; somebody goofed!

Kind regards

Phil

The code letter H following the date usually indicates the routing of the mail.

But for the life of me I can not remeber what the H was for ..

Are you by any chance thinking of the mileage marks, which showed the distance to London and had the routing letters as you mention?

Mackay's "The Postal History of Glasgow" shows a selection of marks like honza's, but makes no comment about the significance of the letters. I suspect they could just have identified the clerk or the duty. According to Mackay, they were used from 1837 until the 1850s.
