Our My House History - Personalised Portfolio, provides a personalised and unique dossier tracing the geographical history surrounding someone's home, property and the local community from as far back as the mid 19th century through the various editions of OS maps and concludes with a spectacular aerial photograph - all centred on the home of your choice.

Developed in conjunction with the renowned genealogical consultant, Dr. Nick Barratt, this fascinating Portfolio represents a new and exciting chapter in anyone's local history.

This fascinating handmade document portfolio presents historical Ordnance Survey map extracts centred on your home or any UK address of your choice. The OS Mapping is taken from individual surveys of your area which commenced circa 1841 through to the 1960s.

After the initial survey, the mapping for every county in England & Wales was further revised between 3 and 5 times during this period, thus your personal Portfolio will contain multiple extracts illustrating those survey editions.

The my house history Portfolio A typical Portfolio contains 7 historical map extracts at two scales (1:2,500 & 1:10,560).

In addition to the above historical mapping (which comes complete with a legend to aid interpretation), your Portfolio will also contain a contemporary (circa 2000) full colour aerial photograph (scale 1:2,000) and a complimentary full colour extract taken from the current OS Landranger map base presented at 1:50,000 scale. Again, both extracts will be centred on your Portfolio's location.

Your personalised Portfolio provides a unique dossier tracing the geographical changes over 150 years surrounding your home, property and local community.
