Dear me Thanks Daniel ! Tufton Street, the northern part of which was known as Bowling Alley until 1870, was built by Sir Richard Tufton (1585–1631), an English lawyer and politician who sat in the House of Commons at various times between 1614 and 1629. What is Tufton Street famous for? 67 Tufton Street, originally a Post Office, was subsequently occupied by the Cabinet Office. It is now an apartment complex. Today, the street is best known as a centre for Brexit-related eurosceptic and right-wing aligned think-tanks. These groups are primarily based in 55 and 57 Tufton Street. Colonel Blood, best known for his attempt to steal the Crown Jewels from the Tower of London, lived in Tufton Street. One of London's notorious cock-fighting pits was located here until as late as 1815. Google maps fail to show any post office in Tufton Street ...... very strange.....My Postmark is dated 1989

There is much going on with this cover, Paquebot, North Western Federation of Philatelic Societies and Post Restante. It is the latter for which I am posting it here. This cover has a nice Poste Restante, P.R., Manchester postmark for 22 May 1971 plus Paquebot, another Manchester postmark, a Convention handstamp and a Posted on the High Seas mark.
