This map attempts to show only those businesses allied to the book and printing trade operating from premises located in either Paternoster Square or Paternoster Buildings c. 1880. Paternoster Row runs east-west almost, but not quite, parallel to St. Paul´s Cathedral with numbering beginning on the north side, running to 35/36 at the corner of Warwick Lane and Ave Maria Lane before returning to the start point with numbering 37 to 68. Lovell´s Court was particularly strongly represented by the printing and publishing trades and is shown in green. 

Paternoster Square occupied the rectangle to the north entered from an alleyway between 30 and 31 Paternoster Row, from Warwick Lane via White Hart St., from the north and Newgate Street via Rose Street (not named by Kelly in his directory) or through an alley from Ivy Lane - Duke´s Head Alley. In the centre of the square stood Paternoster Buildings.

The Eyre Brothers premises would have been two of the slightly larger group of buildings in the south east corner of the square.

 2. Eyre´s Publishing History 2.1 The Watering Places One of the first two volumes to bear the Eyre Brothers name was The Watering Places of the South of England which appeared in 1877 .  This was A guide to the health and pleasure resorts of the South Coast (title page) and covered all the eight counties on the south coast from Kent around the coast clockwise ending in Gloucestershire . [1] The first edition was a comprehensive work with over 850 pages devoted to describing the counties in sequence followed by an advertising section with 230 pages more. With changes in annual holidays and affordability of train travel they endeavoured to answer the question “Where shall we go?” To meet this want we have endeavoured to prepare a work which shall be ... a guide, and a directory . Fig. 2. The 1 st edition of Watering Places … South with standard cloth cover and gilt title . This first edition of the guide was anything but handy. Although measuring only c .120 x 185 mm...

  3.4 Post-1904 and the Kelly Conundrum   3.4.1    Post-1904   While others had tried to issue a Plymouth area directory such as Thomas (1836), F Brendon (1852), W Brendon (1862, 1864 and 1867) or Thorne/Trythall (1873, 1875, 1877), none was a regular work like that published under the name of Eyre. Although the Eyre Brothers gave up their directory after only three editions it did have a long, and moderately successful, life. After 16 editions under the Eyre name, it was taken over by A H Swiss in 1905 as  The Post Office Directory of Plymouth, Devonport & Stonehouse  which became …  Plymouth and District  after 1915. The secondary title being;  With which is incorporated "Eyre's Post Office Plymouth, Devonport, Stonehouse, and District Directory”.     Fig. 29.  Title pages to the 3 rd , 5 th , 10 th  and 13 th  Editions of the Plymouth directory.   Swiss and Co. were a firm operating from Devonport whi...
