From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Tallis Directory is the commonly used name for: A comprehensive gazetteer of Gravesend with its environs being a complete guide for visitors...to which is added a general directory of Gravesend and illustrations on steel. It was written and published by John Tallis of Smithfield, London, in 1839.

The directory includes maps of the main streets of Gravesend, Kent, south east England, with drawings of the buildings. It also shows the lines of projected railways to Gravesend during the period of speculation known as Railway Mania.
