Reference No:
C WW/246-295
Dates:
1744-1765
Description:
A weekly account of the lead taken into the wool house, and shows the quantity and name of the master of the delivery vessel, and of the lead leaving the house, both weighed and unweighed. If it went by water they indicate the quantities and names of the master of the receiving vessel, except in the case of sloops, which are simply described as 'sloop boats'. In both sections the dues payable for each consignment are indicated. If it was old into Hull, ('to fore door') then the name of the recipient is given. From December 1748 there is also an account for 'lighterage' relating to some, but not to all the consignments taken from the wool house
