1889 – The Canterbury and Vicinity Directory – Commercial

The “Canterbury and Vicinity Directory” of 1889 gives us an insight into Whitstable as it was that year. The details of the town are broken down into four sections, three of which are on this and subsequent pages. The section we have not included is the ‘Private Residents Directory’ as this lists only some 200 out of more than 6,000 people and is very nondescript with forenames and the spelling of surnames.

The sections transcribed here are:

  • History Of Whitstable – from the perspective of that date – here.
  • Whitstable Local Intelligence – Churches, Schools, Institutions, etc – here.
  • Whitstable Commercial Directory – Businesses and Tradesmen in categories – On this page.

As always, we have attempted to be true to the original, not correcting any errors in spelling that we find and hopefully not adding any of our own.
