This is an excellent resource!
I still have fond (...) memories of trawling Kellys in the local studies library while tracking down historic sites. Nice to see them online.

Dear All.
For those of us who would need to travel some distance to the nearest
library, I found an interesting resource online from the University of
Leicester.
"Historical Directories is a digital library of local and trade
directories for England and Wales, from 1750 to 1919. It contains high
quality reproductions of comparatively rare books, essential tools for
research into local and genealogical history"

It doesn't appear to have them all, but then you can't have everything.
