Some of these are identfied below, in the form of entries providing a brief glimpse of each site, together with a note about the member and the objectives of the site.

The various sites may be viewed in all their original glory by clicking on the URL address link adjacent to the relevant title. When you have finished browsing in the remote site, you can return to the Guild site by closing the member-site window.

The entries in this section are provided by the developers of this Guild of Traditional Upholsterers site - Black Book Services Limited - and this service is offered to all Guild members currently with a web site who would like it to be represented here.
