First holidays I remember 1939 and 1940. We stayed on a farm in Fovant, owned by the Brashers. The farmhouse was very old, had a thatched roof and a huge kitchen chimney with hams hung in it. My great uncle Fred Allen and Aunt Hannah used to live in a very small cottage up the lane from the farm - it... [more]

My grandparents lived in the old rectory which was a few hundred yards from the Beckford Arms. I spent many happy holidays there with my cousins. We had wonderful Christmases, lots of snow and in the better weather long bike rides. Idyllic days. Shopping in Tisbury, and going to Wardour Castle, also my grandfather liked to go to Scats.

The house on the right of the photo was my childhood home. My family lived there until 1991.

In fact these are not Lotmore Cottages, which were along the road that leads to the River Wylye, immediately left in the photograph past the front of the Royal Oak pub on the left, about 50 metres down on the right. I know this because I lived in Lotmore as a small boy, in the first of two semi detached cottages.... [more]

I was evacuated to Zeals during the war from London, to I think, Zeals House. I recall the airfield, and I remember a local pub, which I think had a yew tree outside. My folks and military members would drink and dance outside under the tree. I recall a aircraft crashing at the airfield and burning. I don't know if the... [more]

Extracts From Berwick St John & Dorset books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Berwick St John, inspired by Frith photos.
The importance of Salisbury to the military establishment after the war can be seen in this picture of Fish Row, just behind the Guildhall. A Pickfords lorry is fighting its way along the narrow street, possibly heading for the Military Tailors in the left foreground, or to the Servicemen's Hostel next door.

The Cathedral viewed from the south has been a favourite subject for artists—including, of course, Constable. This particular view is from the Old Mill at Harnham, and shows the Mill itself, the river and the water meadows as well as the Cathedral. Harnham Mill is a very old building, dating from around 1500. Like the first photograph in this book, the timeless beauty of this scene... [more]

On the Salisbury side of Harnham Bridge, De Vaux Place leads to The Close—the Harnham Gate is at the far end of the wall. Most of the old houses here were built in the 18th and 19th centuries using stone from the remains of the De Vaux College, which was established here by the Bishop to train clergy as early as 1262—probably the first university college...
