Gore's Directory of Liverpool & Its Environs, 1873.This is an extremely comprehensive directory, giving occupations of the people listed as well as their addresses. In addition, the Appendix includes a wealth of fascinating detail about the area covered. In addition to Liverpool itself, the directory includes Bebington, Bidston, Birkenhead, Eastham (part), Liscard, New Brighton, Oxton, Rock Ferry, Seacombe, Tranmere and Wallasey.The original directory had a map but, as is so often the case, this is missing from the disbound copy used for scanning. The size of the directory means that we have had to publish it over two CDs. The advertisement section in the original book has not been included as, even using two CDs, there is insufficient space. On the first CD are Contents, Additions & Alterations; Subscribers to the Liverpool Exchange Newsroom; Numerical Directory (Inhabitants by Street); Trades & Professions Directory; Hotels, Inns & Taverns; Appendix & Addenda and on the second CD the Street Directory and the main Residents Directory. Some of the scanned pages appear not to be straight. This is a feature of the original book rather than the scanning process. Price £12.00 (GBP 12.00) plus £1.00 (GBP 1) postage & packing (first class within the UK and by air mail to customers outside the UK). |
