Scope and content
Consists of six handwritten note books of household accounts. There is no indication from the accounts how many people were in the household.However this series of household accounts does offer a basic insight into the ever changing prices of a variety of everyday goods from bread to shoes throughout the period 1976 to 1990. It can also be viewed as representative of not only the kind of things people bought but how often and testament that many people still shopped everyday.
