Gravesend (GB) Northfleet Hill

Northfleet Hill was the new name given to the original Northfleet office on 1 January 1886. It was a Money Order and Savings Bank office, also a telegraph office (code NOH). By July 1890 it became a sub-office of Northfleet and on 1 August 1891 a town sub-office of Gravesend with a new telegraph code, GNH.

Northfleet Hill c.d.s. code E, dated 8 October 1881 on newspaper wrapper to Sowerby Bridge. The impressed stamp is cancelled with the Northfleet B03 duplex.

Northfleet Hill / Gravesend c.d.s. code B, dated 2 Nov 1892 on receipt for insurance on a parcel to The Straits Settlements.

Northfleet Hill / Gravesend c.d.s. code A, 24mm, dated 31 August 1918

Northfleet Hill / Gravesend c.d.s. code D, dated 9 April 1901 on PPL. Note that the stamp is cancelled with the Gravesend target cancel. The PPL is an error as the Telegraph code was printed as NOH but corrected in manuscript to GNH. Since the code changed from NOH 15 years earlier, this seems strange!
