TOWN CLERK'S DEPARTMENT

It has not been possible to trace the original archive order, if any, of the surviving letters and papers of the Town Clerk's Department in the years immediately following the Municipal Corporations Act 1835. However, original year bundles survive from the early 1850s and from 1861 to 1878 original monthly bundles arranged in chronological order. For this reason the large bundle of miscellaneous papers covering the period 1837 to 1869, formerly listed as Town Clerk's working papers has been divided into year bundles and incorporated with this series.

This series is complementary to the series of Committee papers, CCF q.v.
