5th Clause Post Entire - Oakhampton - May 5 1827. Fifth clause posts were an anomaly when they were introduced in the Post Office Act of 1805. They allowed for the establishment of posts between the Post Office on a post road and a town, village or place not on the post road which was the only way mail could reach some remote locations. Oakhampton was the fork where the Plymouth and Falmouth roads separated and the 5th clause post was established in 1823. This entire from Stratham (Bude) to St Columbus would have been charged 10d but the manuscript 9 was written by custom as the 5th clause charge, being always prepaid, was not shown. ‘Oakhampton 5th Clause Post’ would have been applied at Oakhampton. Nice item.

Early to mid 1800s group of 43 Covers and entires - A superb group with much interest (though with varied quality for a few items which have been badly ‘repaired’ or which are scruffy!)
