Will you be making the RG78 images available for the use of local history people who are not interested in the RG14 household schedules

@Mike: We will shortly be releasing 2 more images from the RG14 (Household Schedule) - the back of the form and the cover of the actual volume they were stored in. At the same time we will release up to 5 images for the RG78 (Enumerators Book) relating to that household. I can tell you having looked at some that they are *fantastic* for local historians as they list all buildings, not just inhabited dwellings. For example the RG78 for Hastings Old Town enumerates not only fishermans’ cottages, but churches, net huts, the town dump, council stores, the East Hill lift (funicular railway up the cliff)!, the lifeboat house and allows you to pinpoint their location in relation to one another.
All these extra images will be included within the 30 credit cost - users who have already bought an Original page will be able to return to get the extra images at no cost. Our current best estimate for the release of these images is April.
