Kelly’s, White’s and Hunt’s were all trade directories that listed  businesses and tradespeople in a particular city, town or village. (Kelly’s was also known as Harrod & Co). In effect, they were early versions of today’s Yellow Pages. They normally start with a short general description of the town or village and then list the professions, businesses and tradespeople operating there. They provide an invaluable snapshot of a locality on the date published.
