Personalised House History Poster

Your home's history, beautifully told in one place.

Every home has a past. Our Personalised House History Poster gives you a fascinating glimpse into yours, combining individual historical research with beautiful design to create a piece of wall art that's completely unique to your home.

We'll research your chosen address and explore the history of the property, street and surrounding area, before bringing our discoveries together in a professionally designed personalised poster.

From historic maps and old photographs to stories of how your neighbourhood developed, your finished poster captures a little piece of your home's past to display and enjoy every day.

What could we discover?

Every property has a different story, so the contents of your poster will be shaped by what we uncover.

Depending on the historical records available, your poster may include:

• The history of your street and local area

• How the neighbourhood developed and changed over time

• Historical information about your property

• Former residents or other people connected with the address

• Historic maps showing your home and its surroundings

• Old photographs and illustrations of the street or local area

• Interesting discoveries from historical records and archives

Everything is carefully selected and brought together into a personalised design created specifically for your address.

History made for your walls

Your finished poster isn't simply a print of an old map or photograph. It's individually researched for your home, making it a meaningful piece of its story.

Perfect for:

• Your own home

• Housewarming gifts

• New homeowners

• Birthdays and anniversaries

• Period-property lovers

• Renovation and restoration projects

• Genealogy and local-history enthusiasts

• A family home with years of memories behind it

It's a lovely way to celebrate where you live without committing to one of our full House History Books.

Homes across five countries

Hearth & History currently researches properties in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand

The historical records available vary between countries, regions and individual properties, which means every poster is unique.

Please note

Because historical records have survived unevenly, the information and imagery available will differ for every property. We cannot guarantee that a photograph of the individual house, particular former residents or specific records will be available. Where they aren't, we'll use the most interesting and relevant historical material we can uncover about the property, street and surrounding area.

Each poster is individually researched and designed especially for you and is therefore a personalised product.

Colours may vary slightly from how they appear on different screens.

If your poster arrives damaged or there is a problem with your order, please contact us so we can put things right.
