NEWS FOR 2012

Recent rumors concerning our situation have been circulated by representatives of a large digital printing machine manufacturer.

We have not - settled out of court (despite trying to) - closed down - been or are in financial difficulties - dropped our legal action.

 

At long last, after 5 years battling (at a astronomical legal cost), against a

Premier Partner of Xerox (UK),

we have our days in court in March 2012.

The preparation and wasted time (trying to resolve these issues in 2011)

has made us behind with our season.

We apologise to our faithful clients and ask for theirs and any new clients understanding.

 

 We are still looking for more businesses with issues concerning Xerox equipment (past and current) please contact us ASAP at pastandpresent@hotmail.co.uk

Company Profile

Our original company, Victoria Press, specialized in printing and publishing books, newspapers and magazines. It so happened back in 1997, we were printing books for one Mr Peter Davey, featuring his unique collection of old pictures, some of which dated from as early as 1895. The theme of his collection was trams and buses in Bristol and surrounding areas. Mr Davey and ourselves thought that it would be a good idea to make historical pictures like these more readily available for everyone to see, and after something of a brainstorming session we agreed on the idea and format of our "Past and Present" calendars. Each page of the calendars has one archive picture, usually from about 100 years ago, and one modern picture taken of the same location. There are two sizes, A3 (420 × 297mm) and A4 (297 × 210mm). The A3 size is printed on one side only, so that at the end of the year the pictures can be kept and framed. Ideal if you are interested in the local history of your area. We selected  pictures of a more general content, and produced our first calendar. And so Past and Present Publications was formed.The guildhall, Poole, c1925

As this Bristol calendar became very popular interest started growing in other areas, so we are, (with the help of local museums and private collections), continually extending our range, keeping the past and present theme. We now produce an extensive range of period pictures, along with some of the more popular modern views, in greeting card form and as mounted pictures for framing.

Recent News: To extend our range we have issued for 2012 a Weston-super-Mare Present A4 calendar which can be viewed along with all our other established areas.
