Rhiwderyn materials received daybooks
Rhan oTredegar Estate Records,
Daybooks containing an account of materials arriving at the Tredegar estate works, Rhiwderyn. From the rear of ADY 2/1 is an account of 69 lots of sawn oak received from the mill, 1914-(?). ADY 2/2 is closed with the endorsement 'End of account. See "Materials Inward" book, no. 2'.
Rhiwderyn building materials books
Rhan oTredegar Estate Records,
Desk diaries used as daybooks, containing lists and prices of building materials used to repair and maintain estate properties. It may be possible to relate these books to the Rhiwderin estate works ledgers (ADY 1) and daybooks (ADY 2-3), although a cursory examination failed to do so. The 1936 volume starts at the beginning of the year, and the 1949 volume continues to the end of the year, so there were probably predecessor and successor volumes that have not survived. The volumes for 1936-1943 contain lists of (employees'?) Health Insurance cards received, and 1936-40 of 'Trustee work - cowsheds, water supplies etc'. The 1940 volume encloses monthly lists, March-Oct., of 'cubic ft of timber issued from yard', giving the total amount of timber and the amount of home-grown larch, oak, etc. The 1941 volume contains a list of properties for which forms C.2 have been received.
