190 volumes of detailed inventories and valuations dated between 1890 and 1966. The names, addresses and occupiers of every property are given, with room-by-room itemised lists of furniture, fittings, equipment and, in the case of commercial premises, stock-in-trade. The volumes contain information about historically important buildings demolished or substantially altered in the first half of the 20th century, for many of which there is no photographic or other documentary evidence
