Notes:
These covers were originally issued in 1990 to mark the 150th anniversary of the Penny Black, and have now been additionally postmarked for the 175th anniversary. Obviously these are very scarce as there are not many 1990 covers now available.
Sir Henry Corbould whose drawing of Queen Victoria was used for the original Penny Black stamp is buried in Etchingham Church.
