Drafts and copies of letters, mainly written by Henry Brown (1797-1806), Frederick Justice (1832-1862) and Colonel Frederick Justice (1862-1872). The letters relate initially to the Tredegar estate, and later to the post-1806 reorganisation Monmouthshire estate, with occasional family and social references. Henry Brown's letters were written to Sir Charles Morgan, including while Morgan was at London and Ealing. AMC 1/10-11 were in use at the same time, 1832-1847, presumably for the convenience of the agent and his clerk.

Surveys of the TWC estate, called terriers by the TWC, and including details of leases granted by the company. The earliest lease is dated 1808. In ANS 1/3 the leases are arranged by street.

Plan books, containing memoranda and plans of building plots in the TWC estate.

TWC lease books, containing particulars of existing leases and new leases granted on the conpany's estate.

Files of reports by Habershon & Fawckner (Habershon, Fawckner & Groves from 1898) of surveys of properties in Newport and Pillgwenlli. Most of the reports seem to have been made with a view to a renewal of the lease of the property, and detail the repairs necessary before a renewal can be granted. Habershon & Fawckner were architects to the Tredegar Wharf estate (at least in 1896; see ANS 5/2, no. 73), although the Tredegar Wharf estate is not mentioned explicitely in these reports, as it is in the reports in ANS 4.

Leases and related papers relating to canal, dock, engineering and wagon companies, and wharves, sea walls and allotments on the Newport estate.

Rentals (called audit books by the Tredegar estate) of the Newport Rents Department and its predecessors. The volumes are intitled Tredegar Wharf Company audit books, 1855-1894 (ANA 1/1-17), Tredegar Wharf estate audit books, 1895-1904 (ANA 1/18-27), and Tredegar estate audit books, 1905-1953 (ANA 1/28-75). -- From 1906, with the expiry of the Tredegar Wharf Company's lease, the Monmouthshire estate's Newport ground rents and the Newport rack rents audit books (ANA 5) were merged with those of the Tredegar Wharf estate to form the Newport Rents Department (ANA 1/30 onwards).

Collection books of the Newport Rents Department and its predecessors. -- Collection books do not usually survive to the same extent as other series of books, as they do not contain anything that was not subsequently copied into the rentals and the ledgers. The surviving Newport estate collection books start later, and have larger gaps, than these other series of books. A ground rent collection book, 1872-1881 (ANA 2/1), and the reserved rent collection book no. 5, 1894-1897 (ANA 2/2), are all that survive from the 19th century. -- The earliest surviving Newport rents department collection books, 1908-1928 (ANA 2/3-18), were originally numbered 10-25, suggesting at least eight lost books. There is then another gap until 1937 (ANA 2/19), by which time the collection books have become annual volumes. The 1941 volume (ANA 2/23) is filled up with Jan.-March 1942, no doubt due to war-time austerity measures. The next volume is much less substantial, and sets the pattern for successive collection books, 1942-1955 (ANA 2/24-36), originally numbered N 1-13. -- On 4 Oct. 1955 a gross rent balance of £1976 16s. 11d. was forwarded from ANA 2/36 to 'Book 14', which is not found, and which may have been transferred to the Eagle Star Insurance Company on the sale of the estate in 1956.

The cash books contain*... -- The earliest surviving Tredegar Wharf Company cash book, started in Feb. 1807 (ANA 3/1), is almost certainly the company's first cash book, as no balance is brought forward from a earlier book, and the company was not formally established until the following month. -- The cash books reflect the essential continuity of the Tredegar Wharf and Newport estates, despite a number of changes to the titles of the volumes. The Tredegar Wharf Company (ANA 3/1-7) gives way to the Tredegar Wharf Estate (ANA 3/8). With the merging of the Tredegar Wharf Estate and the Newport ground and rack rents of the Monmouthshire estate in 1906, the books are intitled Newport rents cash books (ANA 3/9-11), although the numbered run of cash books 1-6 (ANA 3/6-11) runs straight through. -- The series is closed on 31 Dec. 1919, when the balance is carried forward to the cash book of the newly-created Monmouthshire town estate. From this point the Newport estate shares the Monmouthshire town estate cash book, each estate having its own column. -- A Newport rents department cash book relating to cattle market expenditure, 1921-1923, and railway and locomotive expenditure, 1921-1931 (ANA 3/12) has been added to the series for convenience.

Rent ledgers of the Tredegar Wharf Company and its successors. The accounts of each individual tenant in Newport, St Woolloos and Pillgwenlli with the estate, detailing rents due, and how and when discharged. There are also credit and debit accounts for other individuals and companies, including for tonnages, wayleaves and wharves. The Newport Rents ledgers begin in 1907, as do the audit, cash and collection books, on the amalgamation of the Tredegar Wharf estate with the Newport holdings of the Monmouthshire estate. ANA 4/54 was re-used in pencil, apparently adding the Monmouthshire estate's Newport tenants to the Tredegar Wharf estate's tenants on the creation of the Newport Rents Department in 1906.

Press copies of out-going letters of the Tredegar Wharf Company, 1881-1895, and its successors, the Tredegar Wharf Estate, 1895-1904, and the Newport Rents Department, 1904-1905. The letters mainly relate to estate properties, and include bills, rent demands and receipts. -- The spines of ANA 1/6-33 bear the original numbers 4-31, bearing witness to the essential continuity of the series despite the successive reorganisations. The last two volumes in the series (ANA 1/34-35) are press copies of Newport Rents accounts and receipts, 1904-1909, including a few notices to quit.

Letters received by the Tredegar Wharf Company and its successors, the Tredegar Wharf estate and the Newport estate, mainly addressed to Henry John Davis (1881-1903) and G. P. Mitchell Innes (1903), successive TWC agents. A few letters are addressed to H. J. Davis in his capacity as mayor of Newport, 1891-1892, including ANC 2/16, no. 200, and ANC 2/18, nos 2-3. -- The letters have been extracted from their original binders.
