Series ADY 1 - Rhiwderyn ledgers

Ledgers of materials, wages and other expences of repairs carried out by the estate works, arranged under properties. The items in the accounts are forwarded from the Rhiwderyn estate works daybooks (ADY 3). Many of the minor accounts remain in the same volume for the life of the volumes, but the 'Miscellaneous Rep[air]s' account is forwarded from ADY 1/2 (July 1914-Aug. 1915) to ADY 1/3 (Aug. 1915-Nov. 1918) to ADY 1/4 (Dec. 1918-June 1921) to ADY 1/5 (July 1921-July 1924) to ADY 1/6 (Aug. 1924-May 1927), which is probably a good indication of when the successive volumes were started. The pages beyond the last page of miscellaneous repairs for May 1927 have been torn out of the volume, presumably signalling either the start of a new volume that is now lost. ADY 1/2-6 were originally numbered 1-5. Ledgers 6-8 appear to be lost. ADY 1/8 is ledger no. 9, covering the years 1946-1953. -- ADY 1/7 is intitled 'Ledger. Glam. 1', and the fly-leaf is stamped 'Tredegar estate works, Rhiwderin'. This book also contains ledger accounts of wages and materials, apparently expended on properties belonging to the estate. Most of the accounts include an element '20% overhead charges', perhaps suggesting that the work was done by estate workers. A number of the accounts are continued in Monmouthshire volumes, eg, 'Forward to 8/260' (fo. 213, A. G. Ellis, Cold Cefn Cottage, Lower Machen), 'Folio Mon. 7/87' (fo. 228, T. Llewellyn, Tai Mawr, Lisvane) and 'Mon. folio 7/168' (fo. 253, W. T. Ackland, Ruperra Park Wall Cottage), presumably referring to the lost volumes.
