What people say:
“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”

“I was delighted to receive my parcel on Wednesday of this week, having taken only seven days in transit to Brisbane "down under".
So Thank you very much for your very prompt attention to my order.
The quality of the books is superb and my family and I look forward to many Happy hours reminiscing about the places we know and love so much.
I will definitely be ordering from you again”

“I ordered a mug with a photo of an old church for the newly inducted Pastor.
The product arrived within a week, the personal message was perfect and the Pastor was absolutely over the moon with the gift. It is proudly displayed in his office, too good to use he says!
Thank you Francis Frith collection for the excellent service and product”

“Hello, I would just like to say "Thank you" for the prompt efficient service of my most recent order. A beautiful framed print which I ordered for my Mum's 91st birthday. She was delighted with it. I have purchased previous items of personalised calendars, tea towels and a jigsaw. Always the same excellent service. Thank you”

“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As a hopeful as yet unpublished writer, it was fantastic to see my name in print!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”

We live in France so this site could be useful ( and interesting) for presents................ Best wishes, Audre”

“Re: 2 calendars you prepared for me containing pictures of Old Slapton, Dartmouth & Beesands in South Devon which I sent to two friends who live in Dartmouth. This is just to relay their great admiration and appreciation for their gifts. They were overwhelmed to see pictures of their childhood village, Slapton and to have a different one every month next year will bring back many happy memories. So, you see, not every email you get on this screen is a complaint. Well done and thank you for offering this item. I got a calendar for my parents last year with old pictures of Stanwell, Middlesex, where they were both born and they, too, were really happy and still haven't thrown it away. They just moved it to another place in the kitchen to make way for this year's 'ordinary' calendar. They are 84 and 85 years old.
Many thanks for making five people (including me!) very happy”
