Dear Glamorgan Archives Team,

I am researching the eviction and demolition at Great House Farm (Tŷ Mawr),
Llandough, between 29 November and 6 December 1988. South Wales
Constabulary officers were present. I understand from the South Wales
Police Heritage Centre that Glamorgan Archives holds records of South Wales
Police and its predecessor forces.

Could you tell me whether you hold any of the following for late 1988, and
their references and access conditions:

1. Occurrence books, station or duty records for the division covering
Llandough (Penarth, Barry or Cardiff).
2. Operational orders or files for police attendance at evictions,
sheriff's or bailiffs' enforcement, or breach-of-the-peace deployments.
3. Press office or public relations files for November–December 1988.
4. Any deposit list or transfer schedule for South Wales Constabulary
records covering 1985–1990, so I can see what was and was not deposited.

I also hold references ACA/8/2 (your ref 2026–3941) and 2026/3893 from
earlier enquiries, if that helps connect this to my existing file.

If some records are closed, please tell me the closure period and whether I
can apply for access to the parts that concern my family.

Diolch,

Sion Buckler (Ret'd Sergeant)
