Precious Moments Exeter

Precious Moments was created in 1993, and we have now produced 6 books in the 'Postcards from Exeter' series.

Postcards from Topsham volumes 1 and 2 are also available.

We are a small publishing house based in St Thomas, Exeter, our main aim is to produce volumes of cards that come from private collections, giving the opportunity for a wider audience to enjoy the postcards that are being collected and trigger some personal memories of times gone by. Each book contains approximately 40 images and captions.

Book One was produced from the Ian Jubb postcard collection, the following five volumes, are all from the Christine Trigger postcard collection. The first and second Postcards from Topsham volumes are kindly reproduced from the Dr Sandru Bhanji postcard collection.

We hope to expand the number of town and cities that we cover in the series as time goes by. We are always keen for collectors of postcards to contact us if they would like to publish part of their collection.
