What visitors are saying about this site
Over the years, many visitors to this website have taken the time to write to me, entirely unprompted, to express their appreciation, and I have been deeply touched by every message. They mean so much because, in my view, the most genuine compliments are those freely given.
Below is a selection of these unsolicited messages – a representative selection - as many shared similar sentiments. Incidentally, I don't usually draw attention to being praised, but what people have sent over the years reminded me how meaningful my work can be.
"After spending about a dozen hours poring over your site (at first for research purposes, and then simply because I found all the details and anecdotes fascinating), I wanted to take a moment to thank you for creating, hosting, and maintaining your website." —BB*
"I stumbled across your 1900s site earlier and have spent a good time going through various parts of it. I’m coming up to 40, so I’m a child of the 80s, but you’ve managed to explain all sorts of things that I didn’t think to ask of my parents while they were still alive." —DP*
"I am a 3rd year University student. I am really enjoying reading your content about shopping in the 1900s, and will reference some of this work in my end of year dissertation." —CM*
"I first came across your website a few years ago whilst researching life in the past online and have been popping back to read every few months ever since. I have long had a fascination with how people lived in the 19th and early 20th centuries and your site has given me answers to questions that I wouldn't have even thought of. I just wanted to write and say thank you for building this wonderful resource for the curious." —GE*
"Thank you so much for building your 1900s website. It was thoughtfully put together and easily led me from one memory to the next. So much was relevant to my own life and brought back many useful reminders of my early life that I shall put in the family history book I am currently writing for my own grandchildren." —FL*
I'm currently doing research for a play I'm writing. Your wonderful website, 1990s.org.uk has proved immeasurably useful to me and for that I'd like to extend my sincere thanks." —HB*
I found your articles by accident while looking for info on a childhood recollection. I lost my mother 4 years ago so have no-one I can ask any more for stuff like that. I enjoyed your articles so much. Thank you. Memories of my childhood came flooding back." —AC*
"I just wanted to say thanks for all the useful information on your website." —CH*
