Correspondence files with draft and printed sale catalogues and particulars, valuations, reports and arbitrations, and other estate papers relating to properties throughout Gloucestershire, neighbouring parts of Wiltshire, Monmouthshire and other counties. The files relate to the sale, leasing and valuation of property undertaken by Messrs. Bruton, Knowles and Co. of Gloucester, and further details of the types of documents are given in B.S. Smith, 'The Business Archives of Estate Agents', Journal of the Society of Archivists, Vol. III, No. 6 (Oct. 1967), pp. 298-300. The property dealt with was largely landed estates and agricultural land in the earlier period, with an increasing proportion of house agency; there are also many files relating to industrial and commercial premises.

Arrangement (Information about the filing sequence or logical order of the record)
