Sample House Almanac print for Anita Street, Ancoats, Manchester: an Ordnance Survey map from 1892–1914 with the street circled, today's map, the street's story, a timeline and a personal message
Sample print: Anita Street, Ancoats, Manchester — once called Sanitary Street.
What's on it

Every print is researched for one address.

No templates with your name dropped in. We look up your street, find what was there before, and write its story from named sources, which are printed at the bottom.

  • Your street on a historic Ordnance Survey map, usually from the 1890s–1910s, with your street highlighted
  • The same streets today, side by side
  • The story of your street: mills, railways, name changes, what stood there before
  • A timeline from the earliest records to the day you moved in
  • Recorded sales on the street over time, with house numbers left off and your own purchase never shown
  • Your names and a personal message

Questions

Good to know.

Where does the information come from?

Historic maps are Ordnance Survey maps reproduced with the permission of the National Library of Scotland. Today's map is from OpenStreetMap. Sales history comes from HM Land Registry Price Paid Data. History comes from published local histories, archives and records, and every print lists its sources.

What if my house is new?

That's often the best story. The old map shows what stood on your plot before: fields, a mill, a railway yard. You'll see it all on your proof before anything is printed.

Do you use AI?

Yes, to help research and draft. Every fact on a print comes from a named source, and you see and approve a proof before anything is printed. If we get a fact wrong, we reprint free.

Will my purchase price be on the print?

No. The sales chart shows recorded sales on the street with house numbers left off, and your own home's sales are never shown.

Can I give it as a gift if I don't know their address?

Yes: buy a gift voucher. It's emailed to you straight away as a printable PDF, and they redeem it at housealmanac.co.uk/redeem with their address. Vouchers are valid for 12 months.

Can I return it?

Each print is made to order for your address, so the usual 14-day change-of-mind right doesn't apply once you've approved your proof. You can cancel for a full refund before you approve it. If it arrives damaged or faulty, or contains a factual error, we replace it free. Full returns policy.

Why "House Almanac"?

An almanac is a book of dates, records and facts, like the old farmers' almanacs. Ours is that for one house: its maps, its timeline, its story and the sales on its street, gathered in one place and framed for the wall.
