JUN 1975 HERTFORDSHIRE RECORD OFFICE D/EL Miscellaneous collection from the offices of Messrs Longmore, solicitors, of Hertford, deposited 1947 - 1963 Part 2 [Accessions 93, 97, 761 and 955] Inventory compiled May' 1975 D/EL Introduction to Part Two A large proportion of the documents in these deposits were rough drafts and other fugitive papers. With the concurrence of the depositors, only those considered important in their own right, those relating to other documents deposited and a sample of others have been retained. Because one branch of a solicitor's business leads to another, i t wil l be found that, for instance, bankruptcy papers include conveyancing papers, probate papers include documents relating to family trusts and so on. Where possible cross-references are employed to elucidate such problems. Papers concerning the railway projects in which the firm were employed have been retained in their entirety. This also applies to the two insurance companies, the County Hail-Storm and the County Mutual Life, in which the firm were involved and to the company dedicated to the improvement of artisan dwellings, the Hertford Building Company, some of whose work may stil l be seen in Hertford. Another activity in which the Longmore family was much involved was the administration of Hertford schools and this results in a series of papers relating to Hale's Grammar School (Richard Hale School), the Greencoat School and the others of the Al l Saints voluntary schools.
