The longest series of records is the annual profit and loss accounts (BGN 4). Of particular interest are the wartime inventories and valuations (BGN 13), plans and photographs of the exterior of the premises in Pinder Street (BGN 18 and 20), and a pamphlet providing a short history of the firm up to 1920 (BGN 19/3). The collection provides an incomplete record of the firm and there are gaps in many series but there is sufficient information contained within the collection to support a modest study of the milling industry in the East Midlands.
