Book Description
In 1772 Manchester was a fast growing town thanks to the rise in industrialisation. Elizabeth Raffald was a busy entrepreneur involving herself in numerous business ventures. She ran a shop, a cookery school, a coaching inn, a servant's employment register, wrote a cookbook and supported the local newspaper financially, wrote a manuscript on midwifery and so much more. She produced her 1769 cookbook, The Experienced English Housekeeper and saw a need for a directory of traders and notable people. Only 3 years after producing her cookbook she had compiled the first ever directory for Manchester, followed by a second a year later as the town grew and addresses were improved. She produced a third directory in 1781. After she died in 1781 it took another 7 years before anyone else attempted another directory. Elizabeth Raffald was truly a pioneer of her time.

Elizabeth Raffald ran a shop, a cookery school, a coaching inn, a servant's employment register, wrote a cookbook and supported the local newspaper financially, wrote a manuscript on midwifery and so much more. She was innovative so it was only logical that she would be the first with the innovation of a directory of traders and notable people, and only 3 years after producing her cookbook she had compiled a 60 page guide to the locations and trades of many residents, a year later increasing it to 78 pages as the town grew and addresses were improved. She produced a third directory in 1781 after placing advertisements in the Manchester Mercury for people wishing to be included.

Book Description
"The first edition of any directory detailing the tradespeople of Manchester was published as the Manchester Directory in 1772 by Mrs Elizabeth Raffald and the second edition quickly followed in 1773. This digital republication of the Manchester Directory is taken from an 1889 republication of the original second edition of 1773. The 1889 edition is noteworthy in its own right as being number 4 of a limited edition of only 100 copies printed and includes as its preface a biographical sketch of Elizabeth Raffald. Born at Doncaster, Elizabeth Raffald née Whitaker began life as a housekeeper whose last known position in 1763 was to the Honourable Elizabeth Warburton of Arley Hall, Cheshire. In the same year Elizabeth was married to John Raffald a gardener at Arley. Soon after her marriage Elizabeth established a confectioners shop at Market Place, Manchester. Elizabeth Raffald gained fame as an authoress, notably on works of cookery. The most famous issued from her shop at Market Place in 1769. Entitled The Experienced English Housekeeper, for the Use and Ease of Ladies, Housekeepers, Cooks &c., wrote purely from Practice went through thirteen editions. Elizabeth sold her copyright of the book after the second edition for the princely sum of £1,400. Shortly after her 1769 Elizabeth Raffald published from the same address her first edition of the Manchester Directory the first of its kind for the City. Apart from these accomplishments, Elizabeth Raffald ran the King's Head in Salford, kept a 'ladies stand' at Kersal Moor during the strawberry season and during her eighteen years of marriage gave birth to sixteen children. Of the Directory itself, it is prefaced with 'An Exact Account of the Streets, Lanes, Courts & Alleys' found in the City in 1773. There follows a fifty-four page alphabetical listing of the merchants and traders of the city, which in almost every instance provides and address and business. This is followed by a much shorter, but very useful 'Alphabetical List of the Country Tradesmen, with their Places of Abode and Warehouses, in Manchester'. The Manchester Directory for 1773 also contains a number of miscellaneous sections providing an account of the stage coaches and carries arriving and leaving Manchester as well as vessels plying their trade from the various quays in the City. Of these, the largest ship owner by far was noted as the Duke of Bridgewater, who operated no less than fifteen ships between Liverpool and Warrington. As a genealogical aid and a piece of social history, the Manchester Directory, unique for its day, must remain a unique resource and is republished here in fully-searchable digital format."--Publisher website.

Book Description
Elizabeth Raffald lived in Manchester at the dawn of the Industrial Age. Her name is unfamiliar to most Mancunions and yet she was a powerhouse of hard work and entrepreneurialism, something for which Manchester has always been renowned. She was a confectioner, cookery writer and business woman who lived in Manchester from 1763, when she married at the age of 30, until she died in 1781 at the age of 48. In that time she produced a definitive cookbook and the first trade directory for Manchester, financed 2 newspapers, wrote a book on midwifery and yet still found time to have a family. After a varied career she was buried at Stockport parish church and her husband fled to London, possibly with her manuscript on midwifery which had been produced in collaboration with the surgeon, Charles White. Hers is a fascinating story, taking in many things and places including Arley Hall, Kersal Moor racecourse and teh Eccles cake. She is a woman who deserves to be remembered for her contribution to Manchester. -- back cover.
