Description: | Arranged into six parts, this is a file of correspondance regarding the South Staffordshire Water Bill, 1893. The bill was aimed by Act of Parliament to raise capital for Fradley, Shenstone, Ashwood and Bourne Vale Pumping Stations and Shire Oak Reservoir. Walsall opposed the bill as it would increase water charges, and sought advice on forcing South Staffs to seel their Walsall land and concerns to the Corporation. The file contains letters, telegraphs and notes collected by JR Cooper and the Town Clerks Office and include correspondence with; Sharpe & Co Solicitors, London, who acted for the authorities opposing the bill; West Bromwich Town Clerk; Sutton Coldfield Town Clerk; Johnson & Co Solicitors, Birmingham, acting for South Staffs Water; James Mansergh, Civil Engineer, London, who acted as a consultant for Walsall Corporation; Walsall Borough Surveyor, Mr RH Middleton; Burton upon Trent Town Clerk; Stourbridge Union Rural Sanitary Authority; Wednesbury Town Clerk; Mr George Deacon, water consultant, London. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Rights holder: | n/a | Temporal: | 1893 - 1894 | Source: | Black Country History | Creator: | unknown | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
