Introduction

The album ‘Arms of cities and towns of the British Isles' was issued around 1930.

The British album was published in Westminster (London) by Abbey Press Ltd. The author is not known, but Major Thomas Shpeard has often been mentioned as the author.

The album contains 236 stamps with images, which are numbered separately in each section. The album is divided in chapters per Region, with the Regional arms on a separate page, followed by, alphabetically, the other towns and cities in the Region. The Regions are: London, England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland. Besides the region, the stamps also mention the county in which the town is situated.


In the Shop we offer the complete album on CD. We also have nearly all original images available for sale. Contact us for more information.
