The series comprises leases relating to minerals other than iron and coal; these are held at Tredegar AML 10.

The cash books of the Monmouthshire, Monmouthshire agricultural and Monmouthshire town estates. The cash books provide balanced accounts of income and expenditure, compiled from the collection books, rent books and ledgers. They provide a can detailed breakdown of individual items of payment and receipt. -- AMA 9/1 may be the first cash book to have been used by the Monmouthshire estate, as there is no entry for a balance carried forward from a previous book. There is a gap of four months between AMA 9/1 and 2, perhaps caused by a failure to write up the missing months from a draft cash book or from less formal records, as a balance is brought forward to AMA 9/2. Besides this gap, and a lost volume covering July 1937-June 1943 (between AMA 9/26 and 9/27), the series runs through a change of title in 1920 from the Monmouthshire estate to the Monmouthshire agricultural estate, until 31 Dec. 1958. The following day the balance of £3344 18s. was carried forward to the Monmouthshire town estate cash book, representing the winding up of the agricultural estate. -- The covers and spines of AMA 9/26-29 are stamped no's 4, 6-8 respectively, confirming the loss of the July 1937-June 1943 volume, and perhaps suggesting that AMA 9/23 (April 1917-March 1922) was the earliest volume to hand when the decision was made to start numbering the volumes. -- The Monmouthshire town estate was created by its separation from the Monmouthshire estate. From the start, when a balance of £730 2s. 5d. was forwarded on 1 Jan. 1920 from Newport cash book No. 6 (ANA 3/3) to Monmouthshire town cash book No. 1 (AMA 9/30), the town cash books (AMA 9/30-34, stamped 1-5) were used jointly by the Monmouthshire town and Newport estates, with separate columns for "Newport" and "Mon". From 1 Jan. 1943, when a balance of £305 18s. 3d. was transferred from the Glamorgan town account, there is a third column, "Glam", and the last cash book in the present series, 1947-1956 (AMA 9/34), is intitled simply the Town cash book. There was a further volume, as a balance of £5,876 15s. 2d. was forwarded from the old to the new cash book on 1 Jan. 1957, and it would have been to this missing book that the balance of the Monmouthshire agricultural estate was carried on 1 Jan. 1959, bringing all the surviving estates of the Trdegar estate into the same book. However, this book is not now found, and may have been transferred to the Eagle Star insurance company on the sale of the estate.

Annual accounts of receipts and payments, including for agricultural and mineral estate rents, sales of timber and coppice woods, War Damage Commission payments, rates and taxes, tithe rent charge annuities, insurance, seawalls and drainage, repairs, woods and plantations, Ruperra Castle, and remittances to Lord Tredegar.

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.

Reports, particulars and valuations of properties in the TWC's leasehold estate. Most of the reports seem to have been made to estimate the annual increased reserved rent to be paid by tenants for extensions of leases. ANS 4/1 is a collection of loose reports and valuations, c.1854-1901, brought together for convenience. ANS 4/2-4 comprise original files of particulars and valuations, 1881-1901, extracted from three binders intitled 'T. W. estate, W. Rees' reports'.

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.
