In the following listing it is clear that Craven's directory used, almost certainly without permission, the descriptions of towns and villages in the 1851 Post Office Directory, and phrases which are an exact copy are gray shaded. However the name lists appear to be significantly more detailed and as there will have been changes in three years it is reasonable to assume that a proper and more extensive new survey was carried out. Information recorded for the first time in Craven's Directory are yellow shaded. This suggests that this directory is an important additional directory resource.
