The file contains correspondence related to the management of the Crown Foreshores leased from the Board of Trade to the Humber Conservancy Board. The subject matter includes licenses to deposit dredged materials on the Humber Foreshores, Local Authority Sewerage Schemes, Works on the Humber Foreshore, Pipeline Installations, the construction of jetties and slipways, the use of foreshores for breaking up craft, rental of light buoys, the discharge of effluent into the Humber, and stone protection works on the River Trent.

It appears that the correspondence was originally handled by the Board Secretary, and copies were supplied to the Accountant and Chief Collectors Office.
