Extracts From Aldborough & Norfolk books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Aldborough, inspired by Frith photos.
Fisher's store is selling Raleigh, Rudge and Humber cycles. To its right is a fish and chip shop, which surely must rely on a good degree of passing trade. The 'Black Boys', with its multi-paned windows and pantiled roof, is a classic village inn, small and intimate.
