| Description | These were extracted from monthly voucher bundles (1899-1915) or letter binders (1919-1930). The remaining vouchers were determined to not be worth retaining, as the key information was recorded in the Harbour's ledgers. The pay lists record the names of individual workers, which are not recorded in the ledger series. Similarly, allowances for dependents of employees on active service (or reservists) and retirement allowance lists were retained.
Includes wage lists for cranemen, ferrymen, Regent Bridge keepers, Dock Gates keepers, meters, workmen employed at Harbour Works, river fishermen, sea fishermen, and Harbour Police.
The allowances for dependents of employees on active service record employees' names, their service, amount paid and the signature of dependent receiving the allowance.
Vouchers for payment of salaries to individual staff were not retained [noted in ledger? The voucher did not record any information about the posts held by the individuals]
A sample of invoices with notable letterheads were also retained as AHB/7/6/6.
AHB/7/6/1-4 were originally stored folded in bundles tied with string. AHB/7/6/5-6 were stored in binders, the metal fastenings of which had become badly rusted. |
