Herebeforeus

Herebeforeus We produce blue plaque window vinyls that commemorate the previous occupants of your house.

Our blue plaques will show the names, dates and occupations from historical records from 1881 -1939 (of one or more) of the people who lived in your home years before you. It may have been home to a photographer, bath chair proprietor, sulphate maker, journalist, bucket maker, timber yard furnace stoker, cook, railway signalman, professional violinist, part time money lender or sugar boiler.

Tomorrow marks the 1st Birthday of the brilliant business that is the brain child of from . I came across them in my feed in June 2025 and loved their concept, so offered them a free plaque as I do every month to businesses who inspire me . Little did I know that we would become wonderful friends. I held my 65th ! birthday there which was brilliant and held my first ever quiz there in March. I try to spread the love as much as possible in beautiful Folkestone, but as a friend remarked the other day , you are ' The Coterie Guy ' and I guess I am. Looking forward to celebrating with the guys this weekend and to many more years of beautiful food , drinks, their sunny garden space and one of the biggest welcomes in Folkestone. Love you guys X ***r
