Sub-series P 5/5 - Christchurch Highway Board records

Letters extracted from a binder entitled 'Christchurch Highway Board, letter file, to April 1890'. The letters are addressed to H. J. Davis of Newport, solicitor, in his capacity as clerk to the Christchurch Highway Board. He was also an agent of the Tredegar estate, and presumably this file was caught up by mistake with the Tredegar estate letter files. The letters include circulars from the Highway Board Clerks' Society, 1882-83 (69, 73-74, 114), the orders of the Monmouthshire Quarter Sessions for regulating main roads, 1882 (195), a memorial from G. H. Thorne, surveyor to the board, in answer to the remarks of William Williams, waywarden of p. Redwick, that he has been extravagant with the ratepayers' money, 1885 (198), a notice from the Monmouthshire Commission of Sewers that the commutation of the board's liabilities on its lands in Caldicot under the Caldicot and Wentlloog Level Act of 1884 has been prepared, 1887 (239), a number of the quarterly reports to the Quarter Sessions of William Tanner, county surveyor, on the main roads, 1885-88 (221, 265).
