“Just wanted to say a huge thank you for arranging the prompt postage of the Rochdale Book I had ordered. I am amazed at how quickly it has arrived! My Dad will have a fantastic Christmas this year going over all the old photos and Memories.”

“I placed an order early Monday afternoon July 3rd and received it this morning (July 5th) despite the order including a book with a personal message on the flyleaf.
Even though we paid for expedited delivery this is still incredibly quick service!
The way life seems to work is that people are very quick to complain but slow to say thank you.
The map and the book are exactly what I wanted and I am staggered as well as being impressed at the rapid turnaround of and completion of the order.
Suffice to say, thank you and I will have no hesitation in recommending Francis Frith to anybody looking for a special gift or historical memento”

“Dear Francis Frith, I am 61 years old and for some years have been unable to locate a grave in North Wales based on a single photo taken in the 30s by my father (now deceased). Thanks to your Photo Gallery I found a cemetery that I didn't know existed, emailed them, and have located that grave. Your gallery is of inestimable value as a research tool. Thank you so much. Yours sincerely, John Hamilton-Smit”

“I'd just like to say that I was pointed towards your website after issuing a 'help' plea to my colleagues. I have been hunting for old prints from photographs of a particular area for months........and you had the answer!! I've subsequently put in an order today and, subject to it being as good as your site leads me to believe, I may well be submitting more orders!! Thank you so much”

“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”

Nostalgia Framed on the Wall
“The photo now looks very nice framed and hanging in my hallway. It arrived well protected and undamaged.
If there is a criticism it was a tad pricey but the quality is good. Overall a good experience”

“I just wanted to email you and say 'thank you very much' for being so helpful with my last minute Warlingham picture order on Thursday 27th April. Although Francis Frith were not able to offer a Saturday delivery, I really appreciated your willingness to still take my order, while I arranged my own courier collection, and doing all you could to make it work. Even taking the trouble to ring to say you had yet to receive the parcel label from me, (which had been held up in the cloud).
I can report that the picture was delivered to me Saturday morning and it looked really good. It was for a 70th birthday present of a family Friend. I wrapped it up and was then able to take it along on Sunday lunchtime for the celebration meal.
The next day I received an email from our friend, thanking my Fiancee and me for a 'kind, thoughtful and interesting gift' and that they had 'spent a bit of time' (that day) 'checking out what buildings are still in the vicinity of the Green.
Thank you Andrea, thank you team in the workshop for the quick turn around, and thank you Francis Frith.”

“Thank you very much for the excellent, prompt service and delivery of my order. It's a gift for my father's 94th birthday next month, hence the search for a photograph of somewhere in Plymouth (he was born there and always lived there) from the year 1925. I am sure he is going to be delighted with the gift; it's always so difficult to find something "different" for a gift when somebody has attained that age and has everything! Much appreciated.”
