Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

The earliest of these records reflect the varied, somewhat informal ways in which the Society invested its members’ deposits. A collection of interest books established in the 1850s prefigured the development of two formal sets of ledgers, the first for Stocks and Bonds, the second, Ground Rents and Mortgages, established in 1888 and 1877 respectively. Each of these consist of a page or series of pages devoted to each investment on which due dates and interest or payments are recorded. These are accompanied by five boxes of Ground Rent papers, consisting deeds, titles, legal documents, and, occasionally, correspondence associated with the ground rents owned by the Society. These papers are arranged numerically according to numbers assigned in the corresponding volumes.
