The Yorkshire 1851 Census, is now being released as smaller sets covering just a piece number or two on each CD set, so why buy the full county set, if you don't need it. This set contains the places covered by HO107/2313, and it contains images of the census books digitised from the microfilm.
The publishers are very proud of the superb quality of the scanned images. They've have worked from really excellent films copied from the first generation films at The National Archives, and have then used the very best possible film scanner currently available to digitise the images at a high resolution.
This is real primary data as you're looking at copies of the original records, so you see images of the actual handwritten pages of the census enumerators' books (not transcriptions in text format). That does involve you reading the pages rather than typing in a name and expecting the computer to find it. However, you will very quickly become used to the handwriting styles of the different enumerators, and it is easy to click through the pages at even low magnification to spot the people you are looking for.
Features of the CD set are: the ability to magnify an area to see further detail, print the current page, alphabetic street index for larger towns, and searchable area indexes.
Places on CD 8 (HO107/2313):
Calverley, Pudsey
