We used to have that challenge at Cambridgeshire! In the 1960s they knew how to pack boxes efficiently. By the 1990s 'the knowledge' had been lost and we were often stumped how to arrange the contents to make the lids fit. Since then we have reboxed everything in nice new boxes 😀

Hi Mary! Just lists of things, mainly alcohol licenses but occasionally other things too, such as village post delivery times, a list of police officers who owned a bicycle, even a list of police officers who can skate. Seems to be 1905 and thereabouts
