For those wishing to know: the earliest known directory, giving the names 
of people and their addresses, for Norwich in Norfolk.  It was so novel in 
Norwich at the time (1783) that many houses didn't have proper addresses, 
and William Chase, the author, offered to send somone around to paint 
house numbers for 3 or 6 pence each.

All the best,
