Jubb's Directory: The Huddersfield County Borough Directory (1937)

Printed and published by Alfred Jubb & Son, Ltd., of Albany Printing Works on St. John's Road, the Huddersfield Country Borough Directory of 1937 provides a huge amount of information that will be of interest to local historians and those researching their family trees.

Running to around 900 pages, the directory contains:

• introductory information about Huddersfield, including sections written by Stanley Chadwick, Ernest Cooper, Philip H. Lee, Alfred M. Lee, Harold T. Taylor, T. W. Woodhead, and J. W. Turner
• a list of properties on every street in the borough, naming the head of the household, etc.
• an alphabetical list of private residents
• a trade and professional listing

The bulk of the directory is believed to be in the Public Domain, with the possible exception of some of the introductory texts.
