Undated Universal Triangular Cancels - Frome, Shepton Mallet, Taunton
Printed Matter is often cancelled with undated cancels (as there is no service level defined for when it has to be delivered). Here are three examples from Frome, Shepton Mallet and Taunton, all dated approximately by their contents (Programmes for the Mid-Somerset Youg Farmers' Club).

Wellington - Skeleton, Triangular, Not Known cancels
Finally a few "odds and ends" handstamps for Wellington. Firstly a "WELLINGTON / SOMERSET" skeleton cancel used on 2nd May 1912. According to information from the S&DPHG Journal, this cancel was in use from 30th March to 6th May 1912.
Secondly a Printed Matter envelope cancelled with a Wellington "860" triangular cancel.
And finally a "NOT KNOWN / WELLINGTON SOMERSET" cachet used in 1986.

Bath Franks
A few Franks, firstly "Bath / Somerset" untransposed and transposed, then "Bath Avon" transposed and untransposed, with the odd triangular "53" cancel thrown in for good measure.
Transposed slogan cancels were first introduced in Bath on 1st July 1963, and reverted to untransposed format from 1976.

The County of Avon came into existence on 1st April 1974 and lasted until 1st April 1996, when Bath became part of the "Bath and North East Somerset" authority.
