Image of an old book page from 1917 with signs of ageing, depicting a typeset calendar of the whole year. At the top it reads: Portsmouth, Portsea, Landport, Southsea, etc, Directory.

I've worked out I can make 7 normal years (one for each day of the week as Jan 1st) and 7 leap years - they will be all I'll need. It just so happens that the one I made first was 1903 - that year, and 2026, begin on a Thurs. Here's a 1917 original. #calendar2026 #KellysDirectories #LocalHistory 2/2

Facsimile of a typeset calendar for the year of 2026 in the style of the Kelly's Directories from the early 20th century.

Happy New Year!

I've spent many hours trawling through Kelly's Directories over the years and become quite fond of their cheap (and often tatty) pages. Many have their calendars intact. This is my take on them and I'm planning more. #calendar2026 #KellysDirectories #LocalHistory #HappyNewYear 1/2
