“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 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.”

“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 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 posted a comment about how I was evacuated to Ystalyfera at the beginning of World War 11 (late 1930 ) and stayed with my aunt and uncle at Bryncelyn. Low and behold I have received a reply from the son of my long lost cousin, Conway Rees! They now live in Chicago USA and through the Francis Frith website we are now in contact after 60 years. I can't believe it and am eternally grateful for this opportunity”

“I am writing to thank you for your kind e-card service at this awful time. As I do now wish to take too much advantage of your service - I have sent 5 so far for Easter - please let me know if there is a limit of use, and the price of the cards if I exceed the limit. I must say they have all been well received and cheered the recipients considerably at what is otherwise a dismal time. Thank you again. Keep Safe and Well”

“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”

“Received our Mugs here in Michigan USA. They arrived in perfect condition, exactly as advertised. Could not be more pleased with the personal service. The map on the mug was cropped exactly as requested to show specifically the area farmed by my ancestors in the 1850s. A great reminder of our heritage. Thank you, Jack Ledger”
