“I have just viewed many beautiful online pictures of old Rochdale. My memories only go back to the 1960's when I started work there but my mother shared her memories of days back to the 1920's or so. What a town to be proud of in the old days and what proud people Rochdalians were. I wish the same could be said of the town nowadays. So sad what has happened. Thank you so much for the marvellous pictures that have both made me smile and brought a tear or two. God bless you”

“Hello, just wanted to let you know I really enjoyed seeing the old photographs of Aberystwyth. My grand mother lived quite a lot of her youth there, and I was pleased to be able to see the town as she must have seen it. She married and with her family moved to Australia, so her descendants are all Australian. She was very well loved, and it's nice to make this connection with her youth. Thanks”

“I am just writing to thank you for a wonderful service. I received my poster size prints yesterday and I am delighted with them. The service I have received has been first class. The quality of the prints is second to none. I am extremely happy with them.
In this day and age people just don't take the time to say thankyou and let other people know that they appreciate the service they have been given, hence this email.
Once again a very BIG THANK YOU to all”

“I have finally received my eagerly awaited copy of the book "I Remember When...". I was curious as to which story your company had published in the book. I was overwhelmed and astonished to see that you have published four of my stories, one of which is on Page 69. This entailed the story of the Majestic Cinema in Mitcham and my subsequent dream of going to the South Pacific. The pictures attached are in fact one of the islands I lived on for 14 years with my husband and two daughters - the youngest was born there and the eldest was 16 months when we arrived. We were there when Papua New Guinea became an Independent Nation and I have many experiences and memories of the island of New Britain - of course I have written these down - but are only for private publication. We left when my husband was murdered, but that is another story.
I continue to live in the Pacific and at the moment I am in Far North Queensland, Australia.
I will continue to write on your site on the different places I visited during my young years. I enjoy reading the book, it is very well presented, and learning of more experiences of the other writers in the book.
Thank you again for publishing my stories and I look forward to seeing another book published next year, whether it has any of my stories in it or not.
I would be grateful if you can forward my thanks to John M Buck”

“thank you so much. I placed this order as a fathers day present and after having read the timescales involved, fully expected the order to miss the fathers day deadline of sunday 18th June and realised this was my fault for leaving it to the last minute and was perfectly happy to explain to my father in law that his present would be a few days late. how happy was I when I rang him to explain this, when he told me that he had a parcel waiting on his doorstep for him when he returned from his holiday on the thursday!! I was amazed that you managed to get this wonderful present made and delivered within a matter of days and it was actually 3 days early for fathers day. thank you so much for your efforts and speediness.
a very grateful customer who will definitely recommend your services to friends and famil”

“To all at Francis Frith.I have just recieved my copy of 'I Remember When' which includes my entry about the Witch from my family's past (page 197, bottom right hand side).
As a hopeful as yet unpublished writer, it was fantastic to see my name in print! To know that other readers will see my own name has given me an enormous kick.
Also, the book itself is prooving to be a good read that I can pick up and put down at any time and I'll always find facinating stories, some of which have already brought back memories of my own.
My Dad is in hospital at the moment, so I'll be taking the book with me on my next visit to show him. He will be impressed with it too!
Thanks once again, all at Francis Frith for choosing to include my memory. I'll be using your site again to order very soon, and I'll sing your prais es to everyone I work with (whether they are interested or not)!
Best wishes.
Ann Martin (one very satisfied customer”
