Filofax addresses

Whilst I was creating the new website of Filofax Catalogues, I noticed all the various addresses shown on the catalogues through the years.

Whilst the table isn't a definitive time line of the addresses, it however does give us some record of where Filofax and Lefax were located through the years.

I hope you find it of interest. If you have any additional locations please mention them in the comments below.
