“I came across your website quite by accident and wanted to contact you to thank you so much for such a wonderful site.
Having spent the best part of an hour viewing old photos of places I used to live, I cannot tell you what an invaluable tool you have created. Long may you continue to keep our beautiful country's history alive!
Thank you for allowing me to relive old memories, and to pass them on to my family, who are equally amazed and grateful”

“I have just received the calendars I chose, featuring the places in Shropshire that my ancestors came from. The photos exceeded all expectations and bring to life the towns and streets where my ancestors were born, lived, married and worked. I can't wait to pass these gifts on to the family. Many thanks for the prompt delivery as well as these great calendars.”

“Got you from the Helpful Book Company and just wanted to say what a very nice website you have, I sent a couple of epostcards already and found it was easy to do, no doubt I will succumb to some paid-for items in due course!!! We live in France so this site could be useful ( and interesting) for presents................ Best wishes, Audre”

“I have just completed a jigsaw including four pictures of historic Repton (Derbyshire) and was delighted to find one actually showed a car my family owned, parked nr The Arch, Repton School. It was a Ford Squire, reg number clearly visible as 60 ARB-my father was the village policeman in the 50's, I remember being put in the back of the car with my sister, asleep in the middle of the night, to travel on family holidays to Cornwall! It was a lovely surprise..thankyo”

“I ordered a book with a personalised touch (from my youngest kids to their grandma). Having the option to personalise is one of the reasons I bought it. It was promptly delivered, no fuss, no delays. An absolutely beautiful pictorial historical account of my Mum's home town, which I am sure she will be delighted with.
Thank you very much Francis Frith”

“Thank you for the excellent service on my order for two pictures, the product, delivery and packaging were superb. Our friends are amazed that pictures like these existed and have difficulty in believing how much our home area has changed and also how much is still the same! A cousin living in Leicestershire was in tears to see a picture of her grandmother's house she played in as a child. Thank You”

“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”

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”
