[This is the 1923 edition of the Official Handbook issued by the Board of Advertising - post WW1 there was no listing of accomodation however most the book was given over to small adverts for the various hotels and boarding houses. The Intoductory Essay varied from year to year - sometimes being written by well known authors though the decriptive sections did not change much though usually brought up to date]
