Berkshire (1): 'BERKSHIRE/8MR/85/[W.A]' superb large-part strike on 2d chrome-yellow. The first recorded marking from this office. [PMI lists the office as 'Berkshire Valley' TO 1.3.1874; PO 1.1.1884; closed 28.2.1891. This cds suggests the name was simply 'Berkshire'. PMI lists a second 'Valley' office 15.9.1894 to 30.11.1898, for which the only recorded marking is a manuscript "Berkshire 8No94". Again, no 'Valley']

Narra Tarra: '[N]ARRA TARRA/10JLY14/[WESTN] AUSTRALIA' largely very fine large-part strike & a second part-strike on 1d pink pair. PO -.3.1884; closed c.1914 ? [Copper mining. PMI states that Narra Tarra was replaced by Nabawah - 4km to the west - on 22.10.1910. However, this strike is almost four years later, with no doubt about the year being '14'. Supported by the distance between the two places, we suspect that Narra Tarra was actually downgraded to a Receiving Office & continued operating as such for at least four years. The Nabawah cds is recorded from 15AU11]
