gb query~stock exchange po.

On the forged cancellations 1870-1873 qv issues,
we see the name of the Post Office "Stock Exchange"
for the Stock Exchange Post Office.

Would this be the same post office situated in Threadneedle street?
I have a KE7 registered cancellation with "Threadneedle street"
and what looks like BOC for "Bank of England"
I cannot find any reference to other Threadneedle street Post office
cancellations.

I was wondering if this one post office existed under differing names.
or did the Bank of England have its own sub branch?
Thanks.

Here you go Blair,
from my perfin collection.
I have included another..."Manchester (hooded) Late Fee"?
I can see manchester late fee's on the web , but no images

You gave me a street plan of Threadneedle street six years ago
(1767)
I remember vividly, (and after enjoying a sheltered life) the sexual
connotations and derivative of "Threadneedle"
(and petticoat lane)
I were shocked, I still havn't recovered.

There was a GPO Accounting Office in Threadneedle Street. Cancels,
including Registered mail cancels, are seen on high value Victorian
and KE VII stamps of GB.

Some Blair magic there
I have a sneaky feeling connected to The Bank of England Office.
Thankyou Sir.

Also, from the Free Dictionary (Farlex).

Threadneedle Street

Street in the City of London, England, running eastwards
from the Bank of England. The name of the street probably
indicates that the property once belonged to the
Needlemakers' Company (The Worshipful Company of
Needlemakers). The dramatist Richard Sheridan
gave the Bank of England the nickname ‘the Old Lady of
Threadneedle Street’.

Thread- needle Street is a corruption of " Three-Needle- Street,"
so called from the arms of the Needle Makers' Company.

Excellent information. thank you.

"Sir F. A. Rien"
The three Victorian cancels used at Threadneedle St in the -=post office=-
we

tn[3980] = 'Registered + Threadneedle St B O E C'
tn[4720] = 'Threadneedle St + E C'
tn[4721] = 'Threadneedle St B O + E C'

The stock exchange telegraph operation was quite separate from the normal
post office.

See Mellville's "Mystery Of The Shilling Green"

BO = Box Office
EC = East Central [London]

That's what I had imagined prior,
don't read wiki, it gives a very different, and somewhat implausible
alternative
dating form the late 1200's
