The original book used for scanning covers the counties of Herefordshire and Shropshire. The total size of the scanned images is more than can be fitted on one CD so the two counties have been published on separate CDs. The Advertisements section of the original book has been included on both publications.
This publication comprises: Indexes; Shropshire Information; County map; Towns and Villages Directory; Court Directory; Trades Directory; Advertisements.
Some of the scanned pages appear not to be straight. This is a feature of the original book rather than the scanning process. Some page corners appear clipped. This is a result of having to angle the page to compensate for skewed print.
