Hi, trying to find a Kellys Directory for my local area in Sheffield. Any ideas how I can find online.

Thx

Tony

As an aside - my car being quite old & not worth a lot - if I switched from fully comp to third party only:

1) How would the premium compare to fully comp?

2) Would it affect my no claims discount entitlement?

oops - wrong thread!

Now that's what I call an aside !

 

Meanwhile, I don't believe I've heard of a Kelly's Directory before. If I have, then the memory didn't stick around.

You've not provided a year, which makes it a bit tricky to answer your question.  To add to SJ's 1925 link above though (for a copy on CD-ROM), see these ones as well:

1922: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265306441348

1933: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266226461187

1957: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256099617258

1965: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/266698104241

1969: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/256430747986

Physical copies are highly collectable and therefore not cheap.  e.g. (from 1973): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/226004503281

Nobody has yet scanned all Kelly's Directories to an online repository. To find a physical copy for a particular year, you might need to visit the Sheffield Local Studies Library (within the Central Library on Surrey Street): Wednesday 1pm to 8pm, Thursday and Friday 10am to 5pm and Saturday 10am to 4pm.

Would White's Directories help at all?

The University of Leicester has scanned the Sheffield editions, and placed them online, for the years of . . .
