I have been organizing my GB stamps with CDS and have many with partial town names. The following site is excellent for identifying the town name when you can only see part of the name: philately.ttrr.org/gb/towns/victowns.html
Below is an image of a Downey Head stamp with a partial name:
Enter the partial town name in the "Search For" box and then hit "Begin Search"
Now check the search results possibilities against the CDS cancel. It appears that on the left side of the CDS that there are two missing characters and that we can see the slanting portion of the second missing character which might be an "A". From the list of town possibilities, I conclude that the town name is Camberley.
Regards
Mike
