Directory + Reference Library

The neighbourhood kept close, in one place.

A hand-kept directory of local places paired with a shelf of downloadable guides, reports and reference briefs — for readers who like their discovery slow and their answers ready.

Neighbourhood-first

A directory kept by hand — not scraped, not padded.

Reference-ready

A shelf of downloadable guides and reports, always free.

One search, both shelves

Type a shop name or a brief title — either surfaces.

Two shelves, one warm room

One home for the places you go, and the papers you keep.

The directory holds the businesses, studios and services worth knowing about — hours, address, honest notes and a clean way to make contact.

The reference library holds the paperwork that goes with a neighbourhood — playbooks, reports, guides and briefs, all real files, all free to download.

Move between the two like moving between the front-of-house and the back office of the same small building.
