Category - Commerce

Commerce presents analytical results which focus on Victorian Bournemouth’s business world. Data for this comes from directories, census listings, and press clippings. The directories’ database consists of entries published in more than a dozen publications. Much information, however, exists within the census listings (1841-1901). Press articles taken from many titles also cover the subject. These consist of advertisements, obituaries, legal matters, and other references. Each source contains much information on the subject, but, taken in combination, the data support rich and colourful analyses about the resort.
