"J Olliver Trenay" Ledger
1925 to 1946
This Olliver Ledger was one of many given to St Neot Archive by Agnes Olliver. Our thanks to Agnes and Jack for retaining these valuable accounts of St Neot life during the second quarter of the 20th century. At the start of the period when mechanisation was being introduced into the farming industry in rural Cornwall.
Our thanks also to Clarice Barriball who has spent many hours in the Archive on Thursdays transcribing this and other Ledgers, well done Clarice!

Various types of Fodder are recorded as being supplied and transported, costs of these are also recorded.
Petrol and Oil deliveries are also listed. Transport of mostly goods is frequently documented, sometimes the location of the journeys is mentioned.
