ANGUILLA
from the collection of Brian Brookes, FRPSL
Airmail cover from The Road dated 15 July 1930 sent to Tortola,
returned to Anguilla and re-addressed to the USA and posted at Forest on 29 September 1930.
There are covers known from Anguilla from about 1840 all carried privately. On 10 May
1900 the GPO sent out a new duplex ‘A12’ showing the code letters of the sub-offices in
St. Kitts including the ‘AN’ for Anguilla. This was in use until about 1927. The Governor
of the Leeward Islands signed an Order in Council No. S.R.O. 26 dated 1927 called ‘Post
Offices, Names of Order’. By this order the Governor instructed that there should be set
up on Anguilla sub-post offices, namely Forest, East End, The Road and Blowing Point.
The Temporary Rubber Datestamps issued were single circles, 29 – 30mm in diameter and
were used from 1927 until 1931.
