RECORDS OF THE COUNTY FIRE OFFICE

Registers of fire insurance policies taken out through the Thorne agency of the County Fire Office, giving details of the date the policy was taken out, when the premium was due, the name, address and occupation of the insurer, a description of the property and the materials in which it was built, the name and occupation of the occupier, the sum for which the property was insured, and the sums paid.

Founded in 1807, the County Fire Office was a sister Company of the Provident Life Office (Founded 1806), based in London. Both companies became subsidiaries of the Alliance Assurance Company in 1906 and were in turn absorbed in the Sun Alliance and London Assurance Group in 1959. The records of the Thorne Agency of the County Fire Office were latterly in the custody of C.W. Waller Esq., of Thorne.
