                                    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.

My House History - Personalised Portfolio

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.

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.

Excellent gift

21 October 2011

"This item was bought as a gift for my dads birthday. My parents have recently bought the old cottage the history was based on (previously a toll house). My dad has been visiting libraries to find maps and history etc, so when this arrived in the post he was totally made up. He's face lit up - perfect gift."

Well received present

01 September 2010

"Bought this as a gift for two friends who were absolutely delighted with something so unique and different. It is the type of present for people on your gift list for Christmas or anniversary who seem to have everything !My daughter and son in law bought one for my husband when he was 81 in June as I didn't know this website existed until then. Hope to use this website in future.Thanks also for quick delivery."
