1984 - Great Britain

Ref: G2202
  • £275.00

1984 envelope from Cambridge to Sussex that has been badly damaged by fire and water (when extinguishing the fire) which has washed off the stamp. A Post Office letter states 'that the item has been damaged by a very serious fire in a railway coach at Cambridge Railway Station on 19 December 1984.' Very little mail seems to have survived this incident and this is only the third cover recorded to date from it. A rare train incident.
