Rate Books
Rate books at the Local Studies and Archives Centre
Local taxes are paid to the Council for every property in the Borough, today called Council Tax, previously known as Rates. Rate books are arranged by areas and then by streets. They list the owner, the occupier and the tax paid. They are useful for dating property and confirming the residence of individuals.
