Our World War 1 and World War 2 battlefield tours are individually tailored to the needs and wishes of group members.

Guests who accompany us on our tours come from all walks of life and span a wide range of ages and experience.

Our expeditions are suitable for anyone interested in the Western Front and Normandy, for history students, those needing to expand their knowledge of events of that time, and those wishing to discover the sites of where their forebears fought and are commemorated.

For those engaged on a personal pilgrimage to trace and follow the footsteps of their forebears, we will present copies of the research information gathered.

Every battlefield tour is meticulously researched and planned and it is the composition and wishes of the group members that determines the sites to be visited and explored. Each tour is very special to us as no two are the same.

We offer bespoke (customised) tours to accommodate those wishing to travel at different times from our schedule or in smaller or larger numbers and will be pleased to discuss options with you.

Here at Costume Hire London, we aim to provide so much more than Fancy Dress. The company was started in the 1960's by Antoinette Gregory and is now run by Antoinette's 4th incarnation, a chap called Brian Parsonage-Kelly. Based in a lovely Grade II Listed building on the borders of Sydenham, Forest Hill and Dulwich, Antoinette's has been providing Costumes and Fancy Dress to South London and beyond, for 40 years.

Go into any typical Fancy Dress shop and you will probably find nothing we stock. Almost all our clothes are unique, vintage items and we are very proud to say they are all on hangers, not in bags!!! Secondly, we don't sell anything. Actually, well, we do sell wigs, masks, stage make-up and the odd accessories, as well as an occasional modern dress or two that come to us via fashion shows, but mostly we are a hire shop.  Thirdly, if "Fancy Dress" is fancy and dressy, and not cheap and tacky, then perhaps it would be best to describe us as a vintage costumiers with a fancy dress heart!

Historical Footsteps Tours - Phillip Lewis
Website
Historical Footsteps Tours
Details We are a small company based in North West Kent that specialises in tours based around historical figures, incidents and events. We believe that history is best explored by retracing events in the locations where they actually took place.
The majority of Historical Footsteps Tours are centred around London and southern England and range in duration from 2 hours to a full day. We believe that clients deserve as much of our personal attention as possible and, therefore, restrict our group sizes for walking tours to 10 people and the full day tours to 23 people. The majority of our tours are devoted to areas of historical interest that are covered by few if any other tour operators. Some of our tours such as the Jack the Ripper walking tour cover a greater number of sites than many other operators.
Most tours will operate all year round. Please keep watching our website for details of our new tours as they are developed and become operational.

Jack the Ripper Walking Tour
During the late summer and autumn of 1888 a series of horrific murders took place in the East End of London that became known as the Whitechapel Murders.  The murderer, who was given the title of Jack the Ripper was never apprehended.  Relive this 'Autumn of Terror' with an Historical Footsteps walking tour through the streets of Whitechapel and Spitalfields.

The London Blitz Walk
In 1940, London and many other cities in Britain suffered a period of sustained air raids that tested the determination and courage of the civilian population of this country. Although most of the physical damage to buildings has been repaired it is still possible to see evidence of that period in our history. Why not join one of our Historical Footsteps Tours for a two and a half hour guided walk through some of the areas affected by the Blitz.  Tour group numbers are limited to a maximum of 10 people. Tours start at Bank Underground Station.

The Kray Twins Tour
In the East End of London in 1933 twin boys were born. Their names would become well known throughout London and the rest of Britain as notorious gangsters in the second half of the 20th century.
Ronnie and Reggie Kray spent much of their childhood and teenage years in Whitechapel and Bethnal Green. They achieved their first taste of fame as boxers but they are more famous for their gangland activities and crimes that included the murders of George Cornell and Jack 'the Hat' McVitie.

The Invasion Of Britain 1940
In development

The Battle Of Britain Tour
Anyone looking out to sea from Dover in 1940 could clearly view the colossal German armaments along the French coast 25 miles away and witness overhead the daily troublesome Luftwaffe flights probing Britain's defences. Nobody doubted that it would be long before the Germans tried to invade Britain and it was obvious that, as a preliminary to such an invasion, Britain's air defences would need to be destroyed and its Royal Air Force (R.A.F.) rendered inoperative...

Gordon Ayres - Vintage and Hollywood Glamour Style Photography
Website Gordon Ayres
Details

Hollywood Glamour, Vogue, Musician, Burlesque, Film Noir, Vintage, World War II, Travel in the 30s and 40s, English Country House

Gordon Ayres has been photographing the British and Continental 1930s, 40s, 50s retro scene for over 20 years, following the people who have created a unique look and sound - from the bands and dancers, to the fans who populate this stylish, secretive underworld movement.

Using techniques culled from the classic Hollywood period, Ayres finds inspiration in both the studio glamour photographers of the time, and the grainy reportage style of the dime newspaper reporters.

Film Noir is an inspiration for scene set shots, and similar lighting suits the exotic allure of Burlesque ,and smoky night-club musician photographs.

By contrast the elegance of Vogue-magazine-style portraits of ladies with hats and gloves at a Paris cafe, or snaps of people in evening clothes at a Swiss hotel in the thirties-give an impression of a bygone era.

Use of quality vintage lens and studio lamps create the exact feel of the look of the 20s to the 50s- for whatever the occasion.

Established in 1976 COSTUME HIRE by Vintage Years was soon serving the people of Leicester and surrounding districts in their needs for fancy dress.

It was quickly realised by the founder Mike Berman that there was a much greater need for proper high quality professional costumes to a much wider variety of clientele. These included amateur dramatic and musical societies and a growing number of businesses who wanted costumes and properties for advertising, training, promotional and other purposes.

Now many years later COSTUME HIRE by Vintage Years have become probably the most comprehensive suppliers of costumes and accessories in the Midlands.

The English Caravan Company - Proud to show, proud to tow!
Website The English Caravan Company 
Details Working in carpentry and joinery since my schooldays, I have a passion and soul for the creative process, with sawdust in my veins. I have always had a great interest in caravans, especially those I would call, ‘quintessentially English’ caravans. Those built with substance, passion and skill.

We are building stylish caravans based on designs from the 30's through to the 50’s but constructed with the very latest up to date technical specifications, and the newest high performance materials and technology, but retaining the craftsmanship, skill and techniques that give a true hand built item something money simply can’t buy.....love & soul.

Using traditional fine wood veneers such as pippy oak, birds eye maple, ash and English oak. Incorporating traditional dovetail joints on the drawers with heavy duty runners and mortise and tenon joints where applicable, you will have a traditional hand-built caravan to be proud of.

Proud to show....and proud to tow!

Naomi Payne - Jazz, Blues, Classics
Website Naomi Payne
Details Naomi’s musical talent and extraordinary voice were first recognised when she was just a young teenager. This was hardly surprising given the way in which her parents had immersed her in the music of Bessie Smith, Leadbelly, Robert Johnson and other blues Greats and it was only natural that she should move onto listening to such jazz Divas as Billie Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald.

Naomi’s desire to entertain led her to sing with a number of different bands on the jazz and blues circuit in her early twenties, and she was chosen to sing live on BBC Radio Shropshire in 1996.

Despite taking a short break to marry and have children Naomi inevitably returned to her singing career three years ago and immediately found herself in great demand at a variety of society functions, including weddings, fashion shows, vintage themed dances/parties (playing popular music from the 1900s - 1940s) and the 2009 and 2010 Ludlow Food Festival.

Currently Naomi provides a stunning front for a sixteen piece show band as well as mesmerising the audience with her more intimate Naomi Payne Quartet which plays jazz, blues, classic and Latin numbers. Together these two allow her to give full range to her magnificent voice, equally comfortable delivering the husky blues classics as the show stopping Broadway hits.

Rocket Originals - vintage clothing from the 1940's and 1950's
Website Rocket Originals
Details Rocket Originals was originally formed back in 1988 and after a break of a number of years (and also due to redundancy from a "normal" job) we're back! Our on-line shop opened in 2006.

We're based in Sheffield in the U.K. We've been collecting and wearing vintage clothing from the 1940's and 1950's and been on the "scene" for over 30 years now since when were teenagers - and we don't intend to change now.

As for our business, we have our own range of Rocket Originals' shoes for men and women manufactured, we're very fussy in trying to get things right (yep, we drive our manufactures up the wall at times!) and try to get them as authentic
as possible, they're made from original patterns in most cases.

The men's shoes are all made here in England, as are our men's socks and belts. We're proud to be doing our bit in helping keep our British industries alive and try, whenever possible, to have our stock manufactured in good old
blighty.

Our ladies Belts are also manufactured in England. All the designs are taken from vintage knitting patterns, and one of the companies we use still has a vintage mechanical knitting machine, so we have some of ours knitted on that
(very authentic!) We get asked "don't you knit them yourselves" - well, no we don't (we can't knit that well, it would take forever and wouldn't look nearly as neat!)

As well as selling through our website we like to get out there and meet people and sell at various events, and we'll be having a stall at quite a few weekenders etc this year, which will be listed on our homepage as and when they come
along. We also have an eBay shop.

Princess Mimi - an extensive collection of gorgeous vintage clothing from the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's and 1970's
Website Princess Mimi
Details WELCOME TO PRINCESS MIMI'S VINTAGE SHOP

Princess Mimi offers an extensive collection of gorgeous vintage clothing from the 1940's, 1950's, 1960's and 1970's

We prefer vintage* - but you will also find good (and unusual) retro. If we're selling modern goods, we will always tell you: and will date and describe items to the best of our knowledge and experience.
* at least 25 years old

Sizing genuinely vintage clothing is tricky because in times past, women were shorter, differently proportioned, and wore highly structured underthings. We only buy clothes we would wear ourselves - in fact Mimi is a huge believer in everyday-vintage. Remember the measurements we give are the size of the garment not the wearer. Measure something similar which is comfortable for comparison - and then you'll be sure of feeling, as well as looking, great!

Launched in October 2008, the RETROSPECTIVE label is a partnership between Nimbus Records and veteran nostalgia specialist Ray Crick, who has the job of selecting the repertoire, compiling the programmes, sourcing the highest quality  transfers, and supplying biographies and informative notes for the booklets. “I am delighted to be involved with RETROSPECTIVE because it enables me to create CD programmes that bring alive the finest recordings by those wonderful  vintage entertainers of yesteryear, both popular and jazz, for people to enjoy today.”

New releases are added every month, delivering the very best in musical nostalgia from music hall to rock ‘n’ roll – and everything in between! We hope you will relish these classic recordings from the past. Packaged with an iconic  series design, and with booklets containing all the detailed information needed to enhance your pleasure, RETROSPECTIVE is a highly collectable range.

In 1989 Nimbus turned the opera world upside down when it launched the historic reissue series Prima Voce. Taking mint condition 78s they presented recordings made by the great singers between 1902 and 1958.

Adrian Farmer, Music Director for Nimbus, commented, "We decided right at the beginning to dedicate Prima Voce to Opera singers, which meant that a great many of the more popular performers were passed by. We now feel that the time is right to revisit the period and showcase some of the popular artists who made the 1920s, 30s, 40s and 50s the golden age of music."

The label launched in October with 25 releases including 2 CD sets by George Formby, Fred Astaire, Humphrey Lyttelton, Nat King Cole, Paul Robeson and Tony Martin, and single discs by Alma Cogan, André Previn, Eartha Kitt, Louis  Armstrong, Perez Prado and Sammy Davis Jr. The label will release ten discs per month covering both Nostalgia and Vintage Jazz.

The new label will be managed by veteran nostalgia specialist Ray Crick, who is tasked with sourcing the highest quality transfers, plus detailed biographies and informative notes for the booklets. "I am delighted to be involved with  RETROSPECTIVE because it gives me the chance to create CD programmes that will bring alive the finest recordings by those wonderful vintage entertainers of yesteryear, both popular and jazz, for people to enjoy here and now. The first 25  sets out our stall, with music stretching from the music hall to jug bands to rock ‘n’ roll! We anticipate that the entire project will total more than 400 releases, each with a smart series design, making for a highly collectable range."

RETROSPECTIVE is a joint venture between Wyastone Estate Limited and Retrospective Recordings Limited. All sets will be manufactured in the UK and the USA using the Nimbus disc and print 'on demand' production services and distributed  world-wide by Wyastone Estate Limited. The in-house production facility ensures that titles are never overstocked or out of stock and that we can respond immediately to market demand.

RETROSPECTIVE is available from all good record shops or can be purchased directly from the website. A full printed catalogue is also available.
