DCVG/T/1 Rate valuation books The following records relate to rates valuation and amendments created by Barry Urban District Council, Penarth Urban District Council, Cowbridge Borough Council, Cardiff Rural District Council, Cowbridge Rural District Council (1894-1974) and the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council (1974-1996). The records of all the former district councils (1894-1974) were used by the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council in its rates valuation as part of its administration and no attempt has been made to transfer records for the district councils to other records held for these authorities. All volumes bore the reference 'VOGR [and number]'.

Most of the valuation lists and direction sheets were in use in routine administration in the treasurer's department of the Vale of Glamorgan Borough Council over a number of years and are heavily annotated and amended. All dates assigned to individual volumes should be interpreted as in administrative use up to the abolition of the council in 1996. Most valuation lists contain amendments. Direction sheets consist of amendments to the valuations.
