Kelly's Directory

[2][3] Other publications followed, including the Handbook to the Titled, Landed and Official Classes (1875) and Merchants, Manufacturers and Shippers (1877).

[6] Kelly & Co Printers purchased the Middle Mill site on Kingston's Hogsmill River in 1879, becoming a major employer in the town.

It was in many different languages and introduced a fully searchable online-catalogue library and product press release section.

The old editions of the Kelly’s Directories are seen as highly collectable and have also become a useful reference tool for people tracing the history of local areas.

An extensive but incomplete collection of Kelly's Directories is held in the Guildhall Library[8] in London.
