HULL:
Index page for Hull Trades and Professions by Alphabetical Street (1892).
Source=h:/!Genuki/RecordTranscriptions/ERY/ERYHullStreets.txt The data contained within these pages contains very nearly 22,000 names with the names of all(?) of the streets in (Kingston upon) Hull in 1892.
The information you see here was first scanned and then run through an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program by myself. This process, while boring, is fairly straightforward.
The resulting output from this is a huge text file (well over a megabyte). I sent this to Peter Johnson who had volunteered to check and correct the file (along with several others where you will see his name appears at the bottom of the pages). This process is long and tedious, as you need to read two things at once: the scans of the pages and the text file containing the OCR output, and you need to concentrate all the time.
The results of (mainly) Peter's work are contained within these pages, and if you happen to have an interest in either the streets of Hull or the trades and professions for 1892 then I am sure you will find these extremely helpful.
If you should find things of interest, then I am sure Peter would appreciate a message of thanks: just drop him a line.
