Postal History
1848 (30 July), entire letter from Bolton to the "Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Co. Manchester" with a superb and upright strike of the exceptionally rare red "horwich/lanc/p1d" Uniform Penny Post mark. Light, unobtrusive filing folds (one crossing the mark) and the front of the entire letter has been partially overwritten, still very fine and a wonderful example of this striking Uniform Penny Post marking which received the highest rating of all the marks listed in the 1952 Robson Lowe encyclopaedia.
