A brand new way to celebrate the history of your home, completely personal it makes a unique alternative gift for Mother's Day, weddings, and anniversaries.
I pace round my house dreaming of who used to live there, what they experienced and what noises echoed around. It fascinates me and I know it is something which taps into the 'Who Do You Think You Are' and family history craze. Our house histories make really unusual alternative gifts for a family or history lover.
Just give us the house number or house name and postcode and we will do the rest!
The newspaper style includes three vintage adverts from c1900. You choose which town Jesse Bird is based in.
Each individually researched house history contains sections on local history, an interesting fact about the location, who lived at the property or were its neighbours, vintage reproduction map detail and personalised message to the recipient.
Your message will appear at the end of the print. You can include any message (up to 160 characters) eg 'Records indicate my wonderful mother, Kathleen lives here; patient, generous, partial to the odd gin or two and the most brilliant Victoria Sponge baker ever!'
If the house being researched was built prior to 1911 we will try and find details of who lived there and include some of them on the house history. This gives an interesting insight into the house in years gone by and the sort of numbers of people who lived there and their jobs.
For those houses built after 1911, we will carry out similar research and look to the nearest inhabited roads to find out details of neighbours.
In either case, there are fascinating insights into the character of the area in years gone by, the sort of residents, occupations and social history.
We think this is the perfect gift for Mother's Day, new home owners, retirement and any other occasion.
