BROMLEY, KENT INTRODUCTION. > : . ' A "F* T he Fourth Edition of the Bromley Directory -will be, or should be, in the hands of every tradesman in the sixteen parishes of the Bromley Union, on and after the 1st of 1--- ----------- " ' October, 1868., The advantage of having a ready reference to names of residents in this locality cannot fail to be ap preciated by not only every person in business, but also by residents generally, for without it many would not know the names of their neighbours, so rapidly has the population increased of late in some parishes. With reference to the E squires, we admit we may be at fault, and shall be glad if some gentleman in each parish will undertake to put us right in the Next Edition, or correct any error they may happen to notice.
