Ross' Directory 1847
From Historical Hastings
In Ross' Hastings & St Leonards Guide, there was published a trade directory. It is almost certain that this was a 'paid for' directory to fund publication of his guide due to advert numbers appearing alongside each entry and the sparseness of the entries.
This is transcribed from the fourth edition dating to 1847.
