  The first 3 volumes were originally listed with the R & A Sanderson Collection. However, James Lawson ex-employee at Sanderson's did not recognise these volumes or the names contained within. The volumes are the same format as the later wages books listed below. It has been decided that the volumes are more than likely related to Blenkhorn & Richardson and so have been re-arranged into this collection.
