Croydon

Croydon post office, 160 km south east of Normanton, opened on 20 March 1886
  • Registered handstamp on a Sideface - large type rated 2R
  • R in oval registered handstamp () on a Sideface rated Rare
  • Double lined oval registered handstamp in blue rated 3R 
It would appear that the registered handstamp was lost or misplaced sometime in the late 1890s as only one example has been seen on a 3rd Sideface issue. All registered covers seen by me so far only show the  handstamp
