Bath BMD - downloadable PO Directories - not exactly an update

I was on the site again, today, to see if there were anything more specific about the May update (no) but I spotted this:

HAVE YOU GOT THE FOUR "POST OFFICE DIRECTORIES"?

These directories offer a fascinating insight into life in Bath and the surrounding area, in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Download them for free, or get a CD of all four documents.

Bath Births Marriages & Deaths - PO Directories

It looks useful if you have research to do in that area. The four dates are :

1852 (42MB)
1872 (107MB)
1895 (113MB)
1912 (181MB in two parts)

They're separate files, so you don't have to download the lot if you don't need to.
