INTRODUCTION

1. The Company and its records

The Hammersmith Bridge Company was established by Act of Parliament in 1824. (This was before the introduction of the principle of the limited company.) The Bridge, designed by William Tierney Clark (or Clarke), was completed in 1827. A second Act, amending some sections of the first, was obtained i n 1828.

Land was compulsorily acquired i n accordance with the provisions of the Acts for making the approach roads, which included Hammersmith Bridge Road and what is now Castelnau in Barnes. A special clause in the first Act meant that the whole of the Estate had to be purchased. Most of the surplus land i n Barnes and Hammersmith was subsequently soldi but some properties were retained and let to tenants.

The Company's income came largely from tolls on users of the Bridge and the roads in Barnes. Tolls were not charged on users of Hammersmith Bridge Road. A floating steamboat pier was later built to increase profits. It was attached to the downstream side of the Surrey suspension pier.

In 1880 the Bridge and pier were purchased by the Metropolitan Board of Works, under the terms of the Metropolis Toll Bridges Act. The Company*s roads were transferred to the local authorities, its properties were sold, and it was wound up. The Bridge was at once freed from tolls and was re­ placed by the present bridge a few years later.

The collection of documents listed here is obviously incomplete. Important series of records, such as the signed minutes, the register of share transfers and all the ledgers are missing. Other series, such as the correspondence registers and out-letter copy books, are represented only by the last volumes. Most of the engineering records from the time of the construction of the Bridge were already missing, i t seems, i n 1869. (See DD/8/L009-1010.) Tierney Clark had possibly kept them himself.

The Company's record keeping practices were fairly simple. Tinder the terms of its Acts its accounts, with the related vouchers, had to be produced every year at Michaelmas before the justices of the peace at the Surrey quarter-sessions for audit. The fact that comparatively few bills and receipts and account books survive may indicate that they were normally discarded after this had been done. In the Company's last years, and probably earlier, a simple system for keeping correspondence was used. Out-letters were copied in full into copy-books. Incoming items were kept in annual bundles and their date, and brief details of their contents, iv entered in a register. Many of the items received in 1879 and 1880 were never entered, although the notes of their contents endorsed on them indicate that it had originally been intended to do so.

2. Provenance

The documents listed here were received by the Hammersmith Central Library i n about 1934* By 1954* when the first sorting was carried out, the identity of the donor was no longer known. It appears, however, that they represent some, or all, of the records retained by the last secretary of the Company, George Glasson, when it was wound up. This is indicated by the presence of items of his personal correspondence dating from 1888, and by the fact that only the less formal records (for instance rough minutes, but not signed ones) are present. No other records of the Company have been located i n any of the likely places.*

In 1954 the material was absorbed into the Hammersmith Local History Collection. It was given the number SSR (*Special Stock Register') 181, which appears on many of the items. In 1957 the records were transferred to the care of the archivist of the Metropolitan Borough of Hammersmith. It is possible that certain printed items not originally from the same source were in­ advertently amalgamated with the deposit at this time. (See DD/8/1524-1525.) A descriptive list was made, and the items numbered individually, or by bundle. The present list replaces the one made at that time. Two items which are known to have formed part of a, different deposit, which was originally numbered SSR 144, and which were given the numbers DD/8/167 and 169 in the former list, have been removed and placed with other items from SSR 144.

3. Editorial practice

In making the present lis t items have been grouped, as far as possible, in series. However, the fragmentary nature of the collection has necessitated the creation of some artificia l subject groupings. Bundles which appear to have been created during the Company^ existence, and which may reflect its record keeping practices, have been kept intact.

* There are none among the private deposits at the Public Record Office (where most of the surviving records of the Fulham Bridge Company are found) or among the records of the Metropolitan Board of Works at the Greater London Record Office. There is no record of any at the National Register of Archives. V Share certificates and transfers, and the contents of large bundles of receipts and correspondence, have been listed in appendices. An attempt has been made to give as much detail in the lists of unregistered correspondence as the original register gives for registered items.

Throughout the list "Bridge', unless further qualified, means Hammer­ smith Bridge, 1 Company' the Hammersmith Bridge Company, and "Secretary1 its secretary.
