whereabouts of trade directories for Louth
« on: Sunday 10 October 10 07:40 BST (UK) »
Hi
Does anybody know which library or archives I might contact, which might have trade directories for the Lincolnshire area please?
I'm trying to find out when a certain J.T. Boldon of Louth had premises in Upgate, Louth for picture framing.
I live in Yorkshire so would need a library/archives willing to look this up for me. I'm guessing it would be during the 1900's, but probably later than those available on the historical directories website as these only go up to the 1910's
Thanks
Jacky

Lincolnshire County Archive St. Rumbold St. Lincoln should have a copy, or the reference section of any Lincolnshire Library.

As you specifically mention libraries I would have thought logic would tell you to try Louth library first.  :)

Another point Jacky, If you live in West or South Yorkshire, or even York itself, Lincoln is within easy reach by train; well worth an enquiry.

Thanks for your helpful remarks everyone. And yes, Pam, pehaps logic should tell me to try Louth library first. I'm only glad you were there to point out how stupid I really am!

I expect that I've missed the logically obvious at least as many times as you have jackski, so move over in that dunce's corner and make room for one more.  ;D
