The introductory pages describe the West Riding in general, its unions, registration districts, lists of the wapantakes and the places contained in them, parliamentary representation, military, hunting, fairs & markets. The West Riding County Council, magistrates, and a chapter on the geology.

Then follows the main part of the directory. A gazetteer of all towns, villages and hamlets, each with a description, facilities, private residents and commercial residents and those with trades. Larger places (such as Huddersfield), have a complete street directory listing with numbered houses and all heads of household listed, plus an alphabetical listing of people. (All that takes up the first 1050 pages.

There is a Private Residents Directory (although not all residents) amounting to 146 pages of small type in three columns; and finally a classified Trades and Professional Directory (pp. 1197-1619).
