Hi all Most will know of the historical directories site for trade directories from the Leicester University and what an excellent facility it was They are migrating to a new site, I have only had a brief go on it so far so can't give a proper evaluation They are combining other elements to hopefully make a better more informative site <http://www2.le.ac.uk/library/find/rarebooksandarchives/specialcollections/historical-directories> After a few trials one thing I can say is there is now a download facility for the directories, this downloads the whole directory in view in pdf, excellent idea, very clear and easy to read -- Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK)

Hi all I wondered if anyone has a connection to the HALL family mentioned below I have a pocket bible from WW1, sadly not connected to my own family but something that was left in the garage of a previous home in Leicestershire It has "The Soldiers Bible" printed on the front cover, size 9cm x 13.5cm x 3cm thick, black or very dark blue covers, on the inside of the front cover is "A Soldiers Prayer" There is an inscription inside from the soldier to his son in 1916, from research I now know he was Samuel Maurice (or Morris) Elijah HALL 67009 of the 1st Btn Sherwood Foresters sadly I found he died 31st July 1917 (and have accumulated much on the family now) Also inside is "Supplied for Public Service" with a Crown above it, it was printed by Horace Hart : Oxford, Printer to the University The poignant inscription reads "From dady to master George Harry HALL. my son and God bless his little heart Oct 4th 1916" George Harry was then 3 years old The CWGC shows Samuels parents as Michael and Rachael HALL, S M E Rank: Private Service No: 67009 Date of Death: 31/07/1917 Age: 30 Regiment/Service: Sherwood Foresters (Notts and Derby Regiment) 1st Bn Grave Reference XXIX.

Hello there.   I must apologise for the delay in thanking those of you who responded to my original enquiry, but the gentleman at Leicester Record Office who is dealing with my query about the availably of books is still away on holiday! However, I have found out that there is a new link on the main website which gives the history of the asylum/hospital. To access this go to the website and on the right scroll down to 'The Towers Hospital History'. It is good to learn that by the standards of the early twentieth century, it was a good and caring institution, so at least my two ancestors were in a "good" place.   Regards.   Adrian.

Hi Adrian The Leicester Borough Asylum was the Towers Hospital. I can't suggest any particular books which might help but there is some general information here: http://www.studymore.org.uk/4_13_ta.htm#East Midlands Otherwise the Record Office or perhaps the local NHS Trust who may have archived records.
