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.

Also a few printed items, including the rules, report and members of the Welsh Leghorn and Minorca Club, 1906 (filed under letter A), and the schedule for the Tredegar poultry show, 1907 (also filed under letter A). Most of the letters are dated September, October and November of the particular year.

The Monmouthshire town estate was formed in 1919, and originally comprised the Tredegar town leaseholds (from AT 2), together with premises in the parishes of Basaleg (including Rhiwderyn), Bedwas, Bedwellte, Llanfaches, Machen, Mynyddislwyn, Risca, Roggiet, St Brides Wentlloog, St Mellons and St Woolloos that had previously been part of the Monmouthshire estate (see AMA 5/26-27). The Tredegar garden rents appear in the summary accounts only, as a total sum transferred from a separate series of rentals or collection books. The rent income from Tredegar town in 1919 contributed £2,387 to the total Monmouthshire town estate rent income of £8,751. This sum appears in the balance (AMA 6/1, fo. 79) together with the totals of the rents and other sources of income accounted in the Newport rents settled account book for 1919 (ANA 1/43, fo. 225). The Newport rents continue to be audited together with the income arising from the Monmouthshire town estate until 1938 (see AMA 6/11, p. 106). The books for 1939-1943 are missing. The subsequent surviving Monmouthshire town estate rentals, for 1944-1952 (AMA 6/12, 14-15), do not contain details of expenditure and no balance was struck, which is probably why these last three volumes are called rentals rather than audits. A volume of town estate receipts and payments, 1945-1952, which may contain the missing expenditure accounts, has been inclded in this series for convenience (AMA 6/13). -- From 1922 onwards the Tredegar town rents follow Bedwellte. With the exception of St Woolloos, all parishes in the 1919 audit book also appear in the 1952 rental. The St Woolloos rents (and two Basaleg rents) were 'Transferred to Newport dept as from 29 Sept 1930' (AMA 6/6, fo. 164). Premises in Rumney first appear in 1925, and had multiplied considerably by 1952. Caerleon and Coedcernyw make brief appearances (1922-1923 and 1936-1938 respectively) and Magor disappears in 1922, only to reappear in 1952.

The Newport Rents ledgers begin in 1907, as do the audit, cash and collection books, on the amalgamation of the Tredegar Wharf estate with the Newport holdings of the Monmouthshire estate. ANA 4/54 was re-used in pencil, apparently adding the Monmouthshire estate's Newport tenants to the Tredegar Wharf estate's tenants on the creation of the Newport Rents Department in 1906.
