A rare and unique Yorkshire (Selby) manuscript book, providing a totally original document relating to the rural economy and socio-economic situation over 20 years of Queen Victoria's reign. This wonderful, unique Memorandum Book of approximately 228 pages of hand-written text and figures relates to the accounts and records of a professional person and/or estate owner for the years: 1850-1872. The book itself (4.25 x 6.5 inches) has a leather spine and corners with marbled paper covers. The leather is a little worn but has no defects. The paper boards are well worn – the book has been well used – but is intact with no tears. The binding is tight with no loose pages. The book itself is a: “London Memorandum Book; containing an Almanack, List of Stamps, London Bankers, Weather Table, Post Office Regulations and a concise Ready Reckoner”. The Almanac is for 1849. The notebook has marbled end-papers with a small newspaper cutting about the 1861 census attached. Some entries start from the back of the book. (The writer will be deducible from an analysis of the text.) The entries relate to the Selby area, especially: Snaith, Hirst, Carlton, Camblesforth; ‘the house at Greenland’; the Grange; also included are purchases from as far away as Leeds and Sheffield. Payments are meticulously recorded and create a detailed and unique record of social and rural business life at the time.

Pamela Mary Farmer was born in 1916 and this album contains photos and other souvenirs up to 1921.  Though she appears to have been born in London there are stong links with Eskrick and Folkton.  The album is very dilapidated.  (ref 0000)

[Beverley] Property Documents relating to Well Lane/New Street

[Kingston Upon Hull] Copy of Pleadings in Trespass Case, The Archbishop of York v The Mayor, Bailiff & Burgesses of the Borough of Kington Upon Hull

This is an undated but late 19th century transcript of some of the documentation resulting from an action brought in the year 44Ed3 (1370) by the Archbishop because he was being prevented by 'force and arms' from collecting tolls and other payments due for every vessel using the river Hull from the Humber to Arnot (apparently a place on the river near Beverley). The lengthy footnotes added by Town Clerk Thomas Thompson - which may help to pinpoint the age of this transcript - provide additional detail for anyone studying the history of what is referred to as the Archbishop's 'Water of Hull'. Manuscript on 22 large paper sheets. The covering (blank) sheet is shown as p24 which may indicate a missing sheet, though it appears to be a pagination error. Priced to allow for a missing sheet.

Document concerning the Wibsey Low Moor - Brighouse - Huddersfield Toll Road

This is an 1835 obligation bond, signed by various parties involved in financing the completion of the road with funds borrowed from the King, to be partly offset by the tolls to be charged.  The seals of the 7 signatories have been cut off - presumably by a collector.  Being just a bond, the document doesn't provide much detail about the road or the toll houses etc, but it seems this is all that has survived.   (ref 6608)
