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
