Shrewsbury postmarks
A short illustrated introduction to the Shrewsbury cancellations

Postmark database
A project to list all the known postmarks in a searchable format.

If you have a cancellation where only part of the name is visible, then this will give you possible solutions.

Although developed for Early postmarks on GB Victorian items, this has now been expanded to allow marks
on all British stamps and prestamp postal history.

If you can not locate a mark using this database, please send us a scan of the mark
and we will add it to the database for future reference.
