Moorland Road Occupancy 1890 to 1970

A list of trades and occupations in all the shops and houses along Moorland Road. The data is taken from Post Office directories in snapshots from 1890 and then in stages by decade thereafter up to 1970. In the early stages of the study, occupations are listed alongside shop usage (as Moorland Rd was more housing than shopping in 1890) but, from then onwards, the results are as listed in the commercial sections of directories and most shop names have been replicated as displayed in those publications. If left blank, the property was either residential only or vacant in those years.
