Scope and content
The Monmouthshire town estate was created as a separate department with its own audit books in 1919. For all that, the first volume in the present series (AMA 8/1) only starts in September 1925. However, this may well be the estate's first dedicated collection book, as there is no balance brought forward from a previous book. Conversely, the last volume of the present series (AMA 8/13) is clearly not the last in the series, as in 1953 a balance of £537 16s. 4d. was 'carried forward to new collection book, folio 13'. This 'new' book was probably still in use in 1956 when the estate was sold to the Eagle Star insurance company, and may well have passed to the buyers.
