We think we know our homes intimately. After all, we know every nook and cranny and we’re aware of every creaking stair and tough-to-open door. But how well do we really know our homes? The land it stands on was there long before the home was built, and in many cases the building was there long before you turned up!
This House History Portfolio is a fantastic gift that gives you a full visual history of your home and its surroundings since 1841. Using old surveys it traces the changes to the land around your home, the property itself, and the local community. It’s a fascinating look at the past!
A typical portfolio contains seven historical maps extracts at two different scales (1:2,500 & 1:10,560). It also comes with a modern-day full colour aerial photograph and a full colour OS map. All of this comes in a handy and presentable portfolio case that you can also add pages to (so you can keep a running history of your home).

Just a bunch of OS maps but the book is great. I will use the links and see if I can make it a better read

I returned this product. It contained nothing but extracts from ordnance surveys for the area in which the house was situated and nothing else. There was advice on how to obtain census records which can be found on Google. The only personalized part of the portfolio was the address on the front. very bad value for money.

Hardly mentions my daughter's grade 2 listed house. Just a series of maps of the area which could easily be found on the internet. Misleading to call the portfolio My House History. Certainly not good value for money or detailed information.

Lovely gift for my dad, he loved it. It’s an original idea and reasonably priced.
