Hi all,

Does anyone know if any directories exist for Bath, circa 1800?

Hi

Bath Library holds a number of street and/or trade directories on the shelves, starting at about 1837 but, if you ask nicely, they do have some rather more crumbly older directories which you can see. I have looked at these and, fortunately, although I did not find anyone, I listed the years available which are... 1784  1787  1791-8  1800  1812  1829  1830  1833... so the answer to your question is YES!

Ooh, brilliant  :)

I'm a three hour drive away, but I know where my sister, who lives in Bristol, is spending her next day off  ;)

Many thanks,
