Extent:114.5 linear metres; 14 subfonds. Condition: the majority of items are in good physical condition. Individual items and pieces in poor condition are individually identified below. A number of bundles of estate papers were waterlogged during flooding in the cellars at the Stamford Estate Office in Altrincham in December 1993. This resulted in mould-growth, weakening paper structures, bleeding of inks and surface soiling. Pending conservation work, some material is unsuitable for issue because of its condition
