Price:  £30.00

Oxfordshire 1830 Pigot's Directory

One of the earliest directories, this one covers the whole of the county, with descriptions of all of the towns and main villages, churches, schools, etc. and a listing of people with trades. Everything from doctors to candle makers, dress makers working from home to chimney sweeps, butchers, bakers and bricklayers, etc. A huge amount of early 19th century information of interest to historians and genealogists. This county directory was purchased from a book dealer as a loose collection of unbound pages with no cover. Originally it would have been part of a combined county volume, and therefore when Archive CD Books finally obtained all of the other parts of the book (over a period of time from many different book dealers) they decided to reinstate it as you see illustrated here. Beautifully rebound in half leather, with hand made marbled paper and real gold leaf lettering and lining on the spine.    

Price:  £9.79

Oxfordshire 1842-4 Pigot's Directory

Once a part of a much larger book. The Oxfordshire section was purchased from a book dealer unbound, and Archive CD Books finally managed to piece together all of the county sections to have the book rebound. This CD contains the Oxfordshire 1844 directory, and comes complete with a high quality zoomable map.
