Files of reports by Habershon & Fawckner (Habershon, Fawckner & Groves from 1898) of surveys of properties in Newport and Pillgwenlli. Most of the reports seem to have been made with a view to a renewal of the lease of the property, and detail the repairs necessary before a renewal can be granted. Habershon & Fawckner were architects to the Tredegar Wharf estate (at least in 1896; see ANS 5/2, no. 73), although the Tredegar Wharf estate is not mentioned explicitely in these reports, as it is in the reports in ANS 4.

Leases and related papers relating to the TWC's properties in Newport.

Glamorgan mineral leases other than coal leases, and including ironstone, limestone, building stone and clay. Coal leases are held separately at Tredegar AGL 3.

Three original files of reports and valuations by W. G. Rees of Newport, surveyor and estate agent, and J. F. Groves, including on properties in the parishes of Basaleg, Bedwas, Bedwellte, Christchurch, Llanfihangel Llantarnam, Machen, Marshfield, Mynyddislwyn, Peterstone, Risca, Rogerstone, Roggiet, St Brides, St Mellons and St Woolloos in Monmouthshire, Cardiff, Eglwysilan, Gelli-gaer, Llanwynno and Whitchurch in Glamorgan, and Ystradgynlais in Breconshire. The papers were in chronological order and numbered within each of three binders, the first unlabelled; the second labelled 'W. G. Rees and J. F. Groves, valuations and reports, 1903 to 1916', and the third 'J. F. Groves, valuations and reports, 1903 to [blank]'.

Inventories and schedules of deeds and other papers held at Tredegar, 1775-c.1843, a series of lease books recording deeds passed at the Tredegar estate office, 1896-1936, and a post-1950 schedule of leases.

Volumes containing carbon copies of letters sent by J. G. Palling (1869-1880), Frederick J. Justice (1869-75, 1880-1902), H. P. Williams (1897-1905) and G. P. Mitchell-Innes (1903-1905), all of the Tredegar estate office, Newport. Besides AEC 1/1 and 1/3, which are Frederick Justice's letter books for the period Aug. 1869-Aug. 1875, the volumes (with a missing volume covering Nov. 1890-July 1891) form a single chronological sequence of volumes, passing from one agent to the next. H. P. Williams was possibly the agent's deputy or clerk, and possibly acting agent in 1902-1903, between the death of Colonel Justice and the appointment of Mitchell-Innes. Typewritten letters first appear in Dec. 1902.

Copies of payment accounts in respect of the Breconshire estate. Many of these volumes appear to be drafts or rough copies of the fair copies in ABA 1 and 2, with much crossing out and large parts written in pencil. The volume for 1906 (ABA 3/15) was reused in 1915.

The series comprises rent ledgers 'F', containing ledger accounts relating to the farm rents in the Breconshire estate country parishes.
The Breconshire estate ledgers (ABA 4-7) contain the accounts of the individual tenants with the landlord, 1867-1941. Each account continues for the period of the tenancy, with the balance of account transferred from the old ledger to the new ledger. The tenantry of the Breconshire estate are divided into sub-estates, creating four series of ledgers: Brecon rents (B), 1868-1923, Dderw estate rents (D), 1916-23, Farm rents (F, for the 'country' parishes), 1867-1921, and Palleg estate rents (P), 1867-1941. The covering dates of some of the volumes in the same series can overlap, as busy accounts were often transferred to new ledger while slower accounts lingered in the old ledger. Consequently, volumes tended to be discontinued well before they were full, when the slower accounts were finally transferred en masse to the new ledger. Some of the rent ledger volumes include an index of tenants' names. -- Most of the properties in this series of ledgers appear to have been sold in 1915, and some of the other accounts are balanced and transferred to 'Ledger D' (ABA 7/1).

Press letter books of out-going letters of the Breconshire estate. The 1861-1870 volume is numbered 'No. 2', so there was at least one earlier volume.

Collection books of the Newport Rents Department and its predecessors. -- Collection books do not usually survive to the same extent as other series of books, as they do not contain anything that was not subsequently copied into the rentals and the ledgers. The surviving Newport estate collection books start later, and have larger gaps, than these other series of books. A ground rent collection book, 1872-1881 (ANA 2/1), and the reserved rent collection book no. 5, 1894-1897 (ANA 2/2), are all that survive from the 19th century. -- The earliest surviving Newport rents department collection books, 1908-1928 (ANA 2/3-18), were originally numbered 10-25, suggesting at least eight lost books. There is then another gap until 1937 (ANA 2/19), by which time the collection books have become annual volumes. The 1941 volume (ANA 2/23) is filled up with Jan.-March 1942, no doubt due to war-time austerity measures. The next volume is much less substantial, and sets the pattern for successive collection books, 1942-1955 (ANA 2/24-36), originally numbered N 1-13. -- On 4 Oct. 1955 a gross rent balance of £1976 16s. 11d. was forwarded from ANA 2/36 to 'Book 14', which is not found, and which may have been transferred to the Eagle Star Insurance Company on the sale of the estate in 1956.

Miscellaneous Newport estate accounts, including Tredegar Wharf Company accounts, 1807-1855, wharfage accounts, 1869-1885, railway tolls, 1880-1893, wages books, 1901-1920, tonnage return ledgers, 1913-1927, cattle market accounts, 1914, and wayleave and hauling accounts, 1919-1942.
