Description

Interesting postcard from 1990 bearing a label for the “B&B Carriage Service”, cancelled with a “Walnut Tree Local Post” postmark.

The wording on the label reads: “First Day of Operation – 20 August 1990. Leicester, England. Mailed by Allan Barlow and Stephen B. Bluestein in a joint local post issue”.

The address side of the postcard features the 20p Royal Mail Thomas Hardy stamp, cancelled at the Leicester Philatelic Counter.

(We have pixellated the address of the recipient for the purposes of our illustration – on the actual postcard it is clear.)
