A Concise History and Directory of the City of Norwich for 1811,C. Berry 32829 [Link: http://www.gutenberg.org/3/2/8/2/32829 ] [Files: 32829.txt; 32829-0.txt; 32829-h.htm] For those wishing to know: one of the early trade directories for Norwich, England. The publisher frankly admits "He was not aware of the difficulty of obtaining the address of so large a population, or he would have been deterred from the undertaking". Although there are mistakes (the lists aren't alphabetic, but today you can search in your browser), it nevertheless gives a fascinating picture of the provincial town two centuries ago. All the best, David England, clouds drifting in an otherwise warm, clear, sky
