Fire Insurance Policies 18th century insurance policies survive from both the Sun and Salop fire insurance companies.  The former are held in London's Guildhall (MS 11936) and the latter in the Shropshire County Record Office.  Extracts, relating to potteries, have been published as follows: Sun volumes 74-166 (1745-1766) by E Adams, English Ceramic Circle Transactions, volume 9, part 1. Sun volumes 167-232 (1766-1774) by E Adams, English Ceramic Circle Transactions, volume 10, part 1. Sun volumes 235-300 (1774-1782) by H Blakey, Journal of the Northern Ceramic Circle, volume 9.

Salop policy books 1-7 and 9-13 by R Edmundson, Journal of the Northern Ceramic Circle, volume 6. A number of ledgers exist in the BRO (37165/1/1-11) for the Sun company, covering the years 1820 to 1866.  The volumes for 1835 and 1855-61 are missing, and the first volume (1820-31) is currently unavailable.  I have extracts taken from these, which I would be happy to supply to other researchers.
