“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”

“Many thanks for a very enjoyable site where I have made contact with some old friends”
“Thank you very much for my framed photos - the quality is excellent and I 'was over the moon' when I first saw them and of how well they all turned out. The photos are certainly a talking point of days gone by and the memories they bring back. And thank you so much for having the photos available, and I will order more framed photos in the future of Swanley.

“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”

Lovely quality for a photo taken 100 years ago
“Wasn't sure how good the quality from a 100 year old neg would be, but the photo exceeded my expectations. Mounting and frame looked nice quality as well. The perspex was hard to differentiate from glass, apart from weight, so was an acceptable alternative. Arrived in good time and well packed. All in all very pleased and would recommend”

“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 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”
