This is 1 of a number of ephemera items I am listing at the moment.. all came from a single collection and most relate to YORKSHIRE ... some items being of the 16th Century but mainly later period. Including deeds, documents, advertising, billheads, letters, entires, from all sorts of really interesting places - companies ... some will be UNIQUE and others will be fairly common items..... ALL will be of interest to family researchers or collectors alike...please do check out my other listings....most have been folded and do have creases and small holes etc..see the photographs..
Here is a very IMPORTANT official indenture document ofno less than 19 sheets of vellum, all hand written ..in a roll .. they are all sewn together at the left hand end and have really nice mauve leather covers.. which roll easy .. on the top and back.. so it all rolls up and stores better.
So laying it all flat on a table and using weights in the coners to keep it down you will see when you fold back the top mauve soft leather cover you are straight into the first sheet of Indenture.. it has the usual embossed blue seal in the top left corner which has ther fine silver sheet also inset into it on each page.. making it an official document.. with the franked date mark below..the first 6 inch of wording is made up of differant peoples names on the document and place names too... its dated 7th October 1844 and its sets out the arrangements for the formation of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canalcompany, with 14 pages of signatures and red wax seals, including those who want SHARES within the new company and those transfering shares from the earlier Huddersfield CanalCompany.
It is all set out in a table form ..... giving differant info which may be VERY INTERESTING to family researchers etc too.... it has a column for name and surname, description.. this is what job they have or just Gentleman etc, place of abode, amount of subscription, signature, witness signature.
The seals are all just a CROSS HATCHED simple one.. but the names of interested parties, their occupations and the amount of shares they want is really interesting.
There are 3 Schedules within the document...there are afew holes in the document vellum pages in places.. some of the wording is a little faded as well but the majority is all readable.
Each sheet is approx28 inch long x 24 inch and there are 19 sheets all rolled up.. it is approx 4 inch dia when rolled up.
Would be purchasers can come here to our antique shop and view the document..please email me to arrange this .........it is CASH ON COLLECTION or a cleared bank transfer before it leaves here.
It is a real interesting item for the Huddersfield Manchester area collectors.See pics.

Please see close up pictures for more detail.
