Jackdaw history folders

Does anyone else remember these from the late 1960's?

There was a whole series covering a huge range of historical events. I remember I had one of the Armada and another of London around the time of the Great Fire. Both had a lot of facsimile documents which really piqued my interest in history.

  Yes we had them in the library where I worked for many years. They were around later than the 60s. A blast from the past!

[Crumblie]

In our family we had to make do with I Spy books.

[Top-of-the-hill]

  Should've joined the library.

[Mike in Cumbria]

I had a Battle of Britain one.

[Maiden Stone]

Yes. Not something I would have remembered without the prompt.

[RuthieB]

WE had a couple - Alfred the Great, Elizabeth l and possibly the Gunpowder Plot if I remember correctly.

Think I had one on the English Civil War with a copy of King Charles' death warrant

I had forgotten all about them, but was looking on the history section of a secondhand book site the other day and there were a few for sale.
I hadn't realised they covered so many topics.
