The surnames are first.
Blacksmiths
played a very important role in Victorian times. 
Before
the days of complex electrical machines the local blacksmith could mend
most machinery. Farmers would bring their tools to the smithy to be mended,
and many smiths were also farriers and would put iron shoes on the horses.
With thousands of horses at work in the countryside this kept the blacksmith
busy.
This extract from the Directory also
shows us the booksellers who sold
(and sometimes loaned) books to those people
who could read.
Victorians were great letter writers and could buy their paper, ink and
pens here at the stationers.
By the end of the Victorian period
a great many more people could read thanks to the spread of education.
