The first formal guidebooks for historic sites placed in state guardianship in the United Kingdom appeared in 1917. There was an expansion of the series in the 1930s and 1950s. However, from the late 1950s the Ministry of Works, and later the Ministry of Public Buildings and Works, started to produce an additional series of illustrated souvenir guides. One distinct group covered Royal Palaces: the Tower of London, Hampton Court Palace, Queen Victoria’s residence of Osborne House on the Isle of Wight, and Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh. This was followed by guides for archaeological sites such as Stonehenge and Avebury, the Neolithic flint mines at Grime’s Graves, the Roman villa at Lullingstone, and Hadrian’s Wall. In 1961, a series of guides, with covers designed by Kyffin Williams, was produced for the English castles constructed in North Wales. These illustrated guides, some with colour, prepared the way for the fully designed guides now produced by English Heritage, Cadw, and Historic Environment Scotland.

工务部和 1955 年以来纪念品指南的发展

1917 年出现了英国第一本由国家监护的历史遗迹的正式指南。1930 年代和 1950 年代对该系列进行了扩展。然而，从 1950 年代后期开始，工程部和后来的公共建筑和工程部开始制作额外的系列插图纪念品指南。一组不同的皇家宫殿包括：伦敦塔、汉普顿宫、维多利亚女王在怀特岛上的奥斯本宫和爱丁堡的荷里路德宫。随后是考古遗址的指南，如巨石阵和埃夫伯里、格里姆坟墓的新石器时代燧石矿、拉灵斯通的罗马别墅和哈德良长城。1961 年，为北威尔士建造的英国城堡制作了一系列指南，封面由凯芬·威廉姆斯设计。
