F C Mather collected a large amount of notes when researching for his book
After the Canal Duke: a study of the industrial estates administered by the Trustees of the Third Duke of Bridgewater in the age of railway building, 1825-1872 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1970). The book describes what happened, in the age of railway expansion, to the waterways, docks and colleries which the Duke of Bridgewater bequeathed. Mather consulted many original sources including the archive held at Mertoun House belonging to the Dukes of Sutherland. In 1872 the Bridgewater Trust sold its canal interests. Its collery interests were eventually taken over by Bridgewater Estates in 1923.
Manuscript notes and photocopies of original sources, including part of the Loch-Egerton papers.
