This one is on a letter card sent to Canada, so I did not think to a newspaper pre-cancel.

This is a newspaper agent pre-cancel, starting inthe 1870's. Issued to

certain large newspapers and agents to pre-cancel them before mailing.

Alcock and Holland are the GB cancel specialists, this is their type
