These diaries were probably kept by E.C. Adamson. They contain a wide variety of entries, the earlier ones until 1919 being mainly concerned with the building business of R. & S. Adamson, the later ones being given over to gardening, motoring and the property letting business. The appropriate years also contain references to the wars.

The publishers of the diaries were :-
(1) T.J. and J. Smith, 1902-1906, 1910, 1921, 1923-1924, 1927
(2) Alfred Haworth for the National Master Builders Federation 1908-1909, 1912-1919
(3) Boots the Chemist Ltd. 1920, 1928-1937, 1939-1950, 1952
(4) Collins, 1921-1922, 1926
