{1} The text of the directory was gathered and written in 1856. E.g.
“There is at present (1856) in the course of erection”. However, no
physical copy bearing a title page with that publication date has been
found, and the text is identical to that contained in Slater’s 1859
directory for Gloucester, Herefordshire, Monmouth, Shropshire, etc. The
title page has been constructed, not transcribed.—DP.
