In the front pages of the Inside Cover of, say, the yellow
pages and Thompson directory there is
local information such as:

County Council Info
Places to Visit
Important Nos.
Schools and Colleges
Local History
Local communities
Useful Contacts/Helplines
Area Maps
Getting Around
Local Entertainment
Leisure/Shopping/Food and Drink/Tourism
Further Info Contacts

Basically is there a free (or cheap) way of getting all this local information for every major county/town easily in digital format in one place ie. a CD-ROM/One website.
OK, I can get every Thompson Directory front pages and type them in but, it would take me a decade and would that be OK
in terms of ownership and royalties of info?

I'd be grateful if any one can help me out there!!
