APPENDIX IV - White 6 - Yorkshire (later edition)

Title Page from Toronto University copy at Internet Archive

Edward Baines published a second Lancashire work but left it to William White to publish the Yorkshire directory in an updated version at the end of the 1830s. This appeared in 1837 and 1838 (West Riding in two volumes) and 1840 (East and North Ridings in one volume). None of the volumes actually refers to a second edition as such.

Third Volume 1840: The Preface to this Volume of the three-volume work notes that: As is already observed in the preparatory remarks appended to the two West Riding Volumes, recently published by W White, Yorkshire … .

... The whole is illustrated by an entirely new Map of the East and North Ridings, engraved expressly for this Work, and neatly coloured; shewing the railways and all other recent improvements with the boundaries of the Wapentakes and Boroughs.

Photographs have often been taken from websites offering these directories for sale. I apologise that not all are high quality. These will be replaced as soon as I acquire better images.

The Maps
