This county directory was purchased from a book dealer as a loose collection of unbound pages with no cover. Originally it would have been part of a combined county volume, and therefore when we finally obtained all of the other parts of the book (over a period of time from many different book dealers) we decided to reinstate it as you see illustrated here. Beautifully rebound in half leather, with hand made marbled paper and real gold leaf lettering and lining on the spine. Price: £9.79 £11.50 Including VAT at 17.5%
Similar to the 1830 directory.

This is a little gem of a directory. There are descriptions of each place (the description of Norwich runs to fourteen pages!) and amazing lists of *private* residents with their address and occupation. The key point to remember here is the date......1850 and that word 'address' Now, what is the magic ingredient that makes a search of the 1851 census that little bit easier? That's right, your ancestor's address!
