Description: | These volumes largely contain monthly trading accounts and sales and purchase statements from the early 1920s to the late 1930s, the majority of which were compiled at Joseph Sankey & Sons Ltd' Bankfield Works and Manor Ironworks. There is also a volume containing trading accounts and net sales figures for the company as a whole from 1939 to 1956. The earliest volume in the chronological sequence is set out differently, and contains detail about the production of different manufactured goods at each of the company's Works from 1913 to 1915, together with analysis of wages and salaries and accounts showing various operating expenses, but has been later re-used to record net sales figures from 1921 to 1951. Although there are variations in the type of information provided, the volumes all record financal information broadly relating to the company's sales and purchases and are all labelled 'statistics' books. It is likely that these volumes were compiled as part of the internal accounting process to aid those putting together the company's annual accounts. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1913-1956 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
