pub 9 Potteries Mercury 1842

£12.00

pub 9 Potteries Mercury 1842

If I stated that this collection of the Potteries Mercury from 1830-1846 was a unique collection being the only one in the world in its present format, I would not be exaggeration and is exclusive only on this site and it is now offered in a totally different format than the original the copyright is mine only.
It could be nearly thirty years ago when I used to purchase just a few at a time from the British Library in 35mm reel format which could not be accessed without a viewer and even then, impossible to search or copy therefore unable to do anything with them for possibly nearly twenty/thirty years until technology improved allowing me to have them converted and each reel placed become available on a cd. So could have then downloaded onto my computer for ease of use and copy paste etc.
Because of the high cost at the time, this process like the same as acquiring, the original collected taking several years to first purchase them one at a time, then the cost of having each converted from 35mm file to cd again at considerable cost. The total cost could easily be several thousands of pounds invested over all these years.
Now as it happens the British Library no longer hold this collection but have sold it on with all other newspapers a number of years ago both national and local. As a result, they are my copywrite as they are no longer in the original format and am the only person to have this unique collection of the first newspaper published in North Staffordshire and this is the very first time are now available to purchase.
The Staffordshire Mercury was a weekly regional newspaper published Hanley in Staffordshire. The publication was founded in 1824 by Thomas Allbut, with the Rev. Leonard Abington as its first editor. It was later renamed The Potteries Mercury at some point. Sadly, for the years copies from 1824-1830 have not survived or deposited in the British Library. The paper became the North Staffordshire Mercury in March 1834 but returned to being named the Staffordshire Mercury in April 1845. The paper probably folded in May 1848.

por 13 Workhouse Admittance/Discharge Register 1832-34.

£10.00
By

A multiple page document listing both the admittances and discharges of inmates.

This is presented in the form of spreadsheets and the years 1832-34 are the only ones to have survived. They are unique in as much they give a complete uncomplicated picture of admittance and discharge. Upon admission full names are given and their occupation together with the important statistic – that of religion. There are a number of comments made in the last collum. The discharge books are however more surprising as both the basic information is given which is followed frequently with comments as to why. A further feature the status is give if legitimate or not and other comments. The list is endless and at times amusing. They come in two formats, listed in the original date order which with the aid of Excel can be listed in surname, age religion etc. A great asset in the study of social, occupational and family research, or like me a great subject area. All transcribed from the original documents.

Each sdocument contains 31 pages of Excel format each
