  <dc:description xml:lang="en">&lt;P&gt;Abstract copyright UK Data Service and data collection copyright owner.&lt;/P&gt;</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="en">Published annually from 1732 until 1828, the Kent Directories provide the names, descriptions, and addresses of businesses in London.  This collection is a transcription of the directories beginning with the 1759 edition.</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="en">&lt;B&gt;Main Topics&lt;/B&gt;:&lt;BR&gt;</dc:description><dc:description xml:lang="en">In addition to the name, type of business, and street address for each entry, the dataset contains the year of the listing, a `mobility code' indicating presence in the previous year's directory, and a set of geographical grid coordinates accurate to 100 metres.  The directories are presented in three data files.  The `Street' file, an alphabetical listing of all addresses occupied by businesses each year, gives for each address the year, street name and number, and grid location.  The `Business Type' file is an alphabetical listing of businesses by their descriptions.  The `Master' file duplicates data from both of the other files and also contains the name and mobility code of each business.</dc:description>
