Administrative / biographical background:

The Salop Fire Office was established in 1780, and enjoyed a privileged position locally until 1837 when a rival office, the Shropshire and North Wales Assurance Company was formed. These Offices were united with the Alliance Assurance Company Ltd. in 1890. The County Fire Office Ltd. became a part of the Alliance Assurance Co. Ltd. in 1906. The Alliance also maintained the Salop Fire Brigade before it was taken over by Shrewsbury Corporation in 1918, and the Bishop's Castle, Welshpool and Bridgnorth Fire Brigades.

 

Although this list comprises mostly of accession 3008, it also includes accessions 4611 and 4791 which are additional records to the main collection.
