UK City and County Directories

I was informed recently that Premium and Worldwide members of
Ancestry.co.uk can now access the UK’s original business directories – The UK City & County Directories, 1677-1946, detailing over 7.8 million tradesmen, businesses and VIPs and spanning 250 years of UK’s history. The collection contains volumes from every county in Britain and many cities, towns and villages including London, Manchester, Nottingham, Glasgow, Birmingham and Bristol and highlights how trade has evolved over the last 250 years. The directories feature individual listings varying from the standard occupations of the day such as chimney sweeps and dress makers, to more unusual roles such as leech importers, beast preservers, and weapons dealers.
