One of the strange ironies of history.
A Frankish hermit, living 1500 years ago, now has church dedications worldwide.
177 churches in England bear the title St. Leonards. |

Middlesbrough, Cleveland, York Middlesborough was in North of Yorkshire. In 1968 the town became the centre of the County, which was passed to the County of Cleveland in 1974. In 1996 Middlesbrough became the authority within North Yorkshire (Not postal usage, but still philatelic)  |

Suggestion. It is frustrating to see a statement without explanation. Quote:
(Not postal usage, but still philatelic) Why? Looks postal (slogan Postmark) to me. |

Your WINTER HEY postmark, is one of those strange (to me) INTERTWINED ROPE postmarks. I believe they were steel counter pmks, used for mail over the counter. Winter Hey is just a street or Lane address (Ln) and is it YORK or YORKSHIRE  I have a Pmk PENGE London, similar (Edge of wood) in intertwined rope Mentioned with image wanted in the database. |

Sorry when I think of postal use cancellations,
It includes a date.
Seeing it says philatelic counter, not post, I'm not sure I could say it was used for mailing anything, could I?
