Note
Many items routinely endorsed with contents, rent, changes of tenant, expiry or cancellation.
Note
Unfortunately some numbers were altered as the estate’s system of rent collection was revised. This has resulted in some numbers being repeated in different years and some are missing completely. It is advisable to check each number against the rental for that particular year.
Note
Enclosures: routine correspondence and notices to quit in many files.
