CORNWALL, DORSET, KENT AND SOMERSET - PLUS IRELAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES - FEATURE ON GEOGRAPHICAL "COASTLINES" ISSUE OF TEN NEW POSTAGE STAMPS

Earlier this month we informed you about five new stamps, and today you can add whopping ten more to your collection! E is a first class stamp, priced at 27 pence. What is most attractive about today's issue is the fact that what is being featured is the attractive, and very geographical, theme of coastlines. Conwy in Wales, Portrush in Ireland and St. Abb's Head in Scotland have all been photographed for this issue. Cornwall is well represented - with two stamps, which show coastal scenes of Newquay and Padstow.
 

Other than each stamp having a matching postcard, there is something extra on offer for postcard lovers... Those that purchase the stamp presentation pack will get an additional three postcards, showing scenes not included on the stamps themselves. Available by phoning the Royal Mail on 08457 641 641 or from main post offices. For there is a new stamp and first day cover service at the central London post office in William IV Street, London, WC2. Tube station: Charing Cross (Bakerloo, Jubilee and Northern lines).
