London Directory 1677

S&N Genealogy Supplies £17.45 + £2.50 p&p

This directory is a reprint published in 1878 containing the oldest listing of the merchants and bankers living in and around the City of London in the second half of the seventeenth century. The list provides their names and addresses, but unfortunately doesn’t tell you anything about the business they were involved in.

The History of Signboards - From the Earliest Times to the Present Day

S&N Genealogy Supplies £14.95 + £2.50 p&p

When education and literacy were limited, signs were used instead of wording to identify a variety of businesses. Those still easily recognisable today include the pawnbroker and of course, many pub signs. This interesting illustrated book explores the meaning and roots of these signs.
