Directories are an amazing source of historical information. As they provide names addresses and occupations for many thousands of people living in the area covered by the directory.
Kelly's are the best, and most comprehensive of the English county directories as they list not only business people, but they also list the head of the household house-by-house. This one covering Chester and the surrounding areas in Cheshire is no different, containing:
- a general description of the area
- a directory of official and public establishments and institutions
- a street directory
- a private residents directory
- a commercial directory
- a professional & trades directory
This book also includes information on some of the neighbourhoods which surround Chester, including Great Boughton, Hoole and Upton. A Street Directory,
Commercial Directory and Private Residents Directory is included in each of these sections.
High quality scanned images of the whole of the original book. This CD has been bookmarked for easy navigation, and pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
