The
history of Woodborough described in these Trade Directories changes
little during the 100 years covered, what is interesting though,
and can be compared, are the people and trades that each directory
lists. Those mentioned in each directory are those that have position
or trade, for all persons living in the village one would have to consult
the ten year censors of the time. Within these directories there are many
discrepancies with names, dates, values and others that have been observed,
but not corrected.
The style of the four main directories differ in so much
as some are more thorough than others, and those that are more thorough
naturally provide a greater amount of information and detail. Although
the population of the village increased during this period, trades
declined (in particular the frame knitting industry), this is further
discussed in the 'Shops and Trades' section elsewhere on this website,

All our directories have been adjusted so that they are similar
in style and presentation with each other. If directories other than those
listed become available we will try to provide them here. |
