Got my hands on a copy of the 1893 Thoms Directory.
The images are too large to post here (and other places) so started a blog.
The first batch is

Any chance you could throw up Blackrock at some stage? This is very interesting stuff.

Will do Blackrock Sometime in the next week or so.

I'm sorry if some of the scans are a bit blurred.... but due to the book being both old and on loan I dont want to manipulate it too much to get better scans.

Blackrock is up now

Blackrock

There is also the short entry for Loughlinstown up now too

Loughlinstown (experimenting with wordpress for that one)

Tenderloins1

Up now also is Booterstown 1893
where ‘Ample accomodation is afforded for sea bathing by the Railway Company’

Sure it will be grand

Very interesting, thanks for uploading.

You might consider converting them to text so that they can be indexed by the search engines. I tried this site with one of your scans and it worked quite well.

BTW, the Wordpress template is much nicer.

BLACKROCK (TowNsHIP). BLACKROCK, a maritime town, in Monkstown and Booterstown parishes, partly in Dublin barony, but chiefly in that of Rathdown, county of Dublin, five miles S.E. from the General Post Office, Dublin, comprising an area of 110 acres. Population in 1881, 8,975. It is pleasantly situated on the south shore of Dublin bay, and on the great thoroughfare by railway and road to Kingstown and Bray, and consists of one main and several minor streets and avenues. Its buildings are the Town Hall, Protestant Episcopal Chapel, Methodist Chapel, Roman Catholic Chapel, Dominican Convent, and Carmelite Nunnery. There is a bzanch of the Rathdown Dispensary, a Police Station, and National Schools. Commodious Baths have been erected by a Company, and the con-venience afforded by locomotive conveyance, every half hour, renders it a place of great resort to all classes chiefly for sea bathing. The Towns Improvement Act has been adopted, the district embracing Blackrock, Monkstown, Williamstown, Booterstown, &c. The area of the township is 1,078 statute acres ; the rateable valuation of property for taxation being £47,783. The population in 1891 was 8,380. Tramcars arrive from and start to Dublin every 15 minutes. There is a Postal Telegraph at the Post Office, 24 Main-st.

Thanks a million for that tip. Makes a huge difference.
Have updated a few posts with it.
Still messing around with Wordpress, have yet to fully settle on a look and feel though and it does look far nicer than the other.

Is there an entry for Dundrum by any chance?
