BC British Columbia postal history. Gateway / Newgate 1914 change in Post Office name. An attractive duo of cards neatly mounted on an album page showing the transition in name of the Gateway BC post office to its new name (Newgate) in 1914. The top card, sent from "Gateway" on June 29th, 1914, to Victoria. The Gateway P.O. officially closed the next day (June 30th) and was re-opened / renamed as "Newgate" on July 1st, 1914. The bottom card is posted from Newgate on July 6th, 1914 from the same sender as the first to Victoria. The sender also notes on the back 'N.B. Post Office name changed from Gateway to Newgate". A seemingly impossible pair of postmarks representing the LKU (latest known use) of Gateway BC and the EKU (earliest known date) for Newgate BC. Ex. Tracy Cooper collection. Estimate =
