Kelly’s Directories are well known today as publishers of the country’s leading industrial directory, but the company began by listing the residents and social infrastructure of Britain’s major towns. This directory is an invaluable guide to those wanting an insight into the people of Portsmouth and the surrounding area, and the way they lived over a hundred and twenty years ago. Streets are listed along with the occupants of each building. A directory of surnames and addresses, a trade directory, local information and contemporary advertisements are also included. Hot dinners could be purchased for ninepence in Commercial Road, and there was a choice of well over two hundred Public Houses which are listed along with the names of their landlords (698 images) click here for more information

 

This lartest addition makes it a total of nineteen downloadable Portsmouth Street, Residential and Trade Directories spanning the period from 1861 to 1918. Please click here to view all Portsmouth Directories.
