A Postal History of Brighton, 1673-1783, by Ernest Trory, published 1953 (Brighton: Crabtree Press Ltd.) accessible at: The Keep [LIB/506077]
Review by A. D. in Sussex Notes and Queries, May 1954:The latest addition to the history of Brighton is this small brochure on the early postal history of Brighthelmston written and published by Mr. Ernest Trory. The story after 1783 is to be continued in a separate publication. Mr. Trory has made this subject specially his own, and his article is based on research into the records of the General Post Office. His most interesting discovery is probably the fact that when the Post Office was moved from its earliest site in Middle Street between 1779 and 1782, it was transferred, not as generally thought to Widget's (later Bowen's) Library on the south side of the Steine near the old Manor House, but to the rival establishment of Thomas's Library on the east side of the Steine which is perhaps better known under its late name of Donaldson's. The article is extremely well illustrated. The second instalment will be awaited with interest.
