Welcome to the Friardale Website.

The Friardale website provides access to Charles Hamilton material now available in electronic format.

This website would not have been possible without the material supplied by the members of the various Hamilton Yahoo groups and I thank them for their contribution. They have given their time to scan rare and valuable material so that others can enjoy it for free. I emphasise the word "free", please do not risk losing the goodwill of the contributors or indeed the existence of this site by exploiting the contents for financial gain.

The layout of this site is always going to be functional rather than artistic as I have neither the time nor skill to produce anything else! If you have any material you would like to share then please contact me.

If you are the copyright owner of anything on this site, please contact me and, if your rights have been breached the relevant items will be deleted. All material on this website is intended for personal use only.

To commemorate the 50th anniversary of the death of Charles Hamilton the Friars Club plan to publish a number of stories that have not previously appeared in print. Hamilton wrote eight 'Jack' books in the early fifties but only 3 were published and the manuscripts for the other five have lain in a drawer for over 50 years.

 The first two books have now been published. You can find details of the books and order details on the Friars Club website here.
