PIGOTS 1835 SOUTH WALES

James Pigot first appears in Schole's Manchester directory for 1794 as an engraver and copper-plate printer at 13 Back Faulkner St. In 1811 James Pigot published the first of his long series of Manchester Directories from Faulkner St., which remained the address of his Manchester publishing office for the next twenty-four years. Though his name does not appear on the title of The Commercial Directory for 1814-15, which covers some thity manufacturing towns in the north, it does on that of the subsequent editions, and there can be little doubt that he was the originator of it.

In 1820 he published a directory of Ireland, Scotland and the four northern counties of England, and in 1822 he published his first London Directory, plus directories of two hundred and eighty places in the midlands. He completed his survey of the United Kingdom in 1823 with a volume covering the home and southern counties. In this year he opened an office in Basing Lane in London and in 1834 he had an agent in Paris for the sale of his directories on the continent. In 1837 he moved his London office to 9 Fleet Street. He continued to publish a volume every year, and sometimes more than one a year, covering London and different blocks of counties, as well as Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Some of the volumes are only re-issues of earlier editions but, roughly speaking, a fresh survey was completed every six of seven years.

This the Pigot's Trade Directory of South Wales for 1835, completed during Pigot's third General Survey, of 1831-1840. The previous Pigot's South Wales directory was published in 1830.
