A great website Andrew, congrats and thanks for all the hard work!!
Andrew, Please allow me to also congratulate you on your wonderful site which is now 10 years young. I haven't lived in Windsor since the early sixties. I moved to London England in 1965 but have visited Windsor many times since and I have noticed how the city has changed for the better since I lived there. However I still miss the place and I look forward to viewing your site every Friday when the memories come flooding back. May I urge you to keep up your very good work.
Thank you for your good work of showcasing Windsor's architectural heritage, Andrew. It's always interesting to check on your latest posting.
Great site. Hoping for another 10 years.
