We create bespoke house history boxes and folios, combining archival research, storytelling, and premium presentation to produce a truly meaningful and personal gift. We are a research business—a small team of three with expertise in researching local history, property history and family history. We have completed house histories for
Higham Hall Educational Trust
Open University
Newcastle Univers
ity
Ring Net Heritage Trust
Several private residences in the North East. Why is your page Gosforth and Jesmond? We live and work in this area (except one of us who lives in Edinburgh and divides her time between there and Gosforth). Gosforth and Jesmond have fascinating histories, and we are curating and sharing them through our blog. How are you qualified to carry out this type of work? Between us, we have over forty years of experience in research and business, including experience working in museums and with old buildings regarding funding eligibility. We have experience in graphic design, which we use to illustrate our folios and highlight period properties with our House Portraits. We aim to connect as many people as possible to their personal heritages. We love digging through the archives and helping people connect to their own histories either by who they are or where they live. We help people recognise and document their heritage through our carefully researched folios and illustrations.. We like our customers to feel like they have a part in the story, and we present our research in an inviting and involving style. Why is heritage important? Heritage can be anything that a person, family, business or community values enough to protect it for the future. Heritage is important because it gives us a sense of singular and communal identity.
