More about this scene

The Old Mill 1906 This is the brick lower storey of a windmill built around 1800 by a Crawley millwright, Morley, and situated east of the Recreation Ground. It was burned down around 1900 and given a tiled octagonal roof with dormers and a weather vane. The stones were turned by a steam engine, hence the words Steam Mill painted on the roof of the attached building. It looks in this view more like a dovecote, and was converted to a house in 1934. The miller's wagon poses proudly in front of the mill.

Charlwood Garage The Old Forge
We lived in a 400 year old cottage at the back of The Old Forge, later Charlwood Garage. My brother was born in the cottage in October 1965. I am trying to locate any photographs of the old house behind the forge or any photographs of the Forge itself. The house was pulled down in the 1980s, it had been built on a well and every time it rained we were flooded out, and eventually had to move out. ...see more

Charlwood Brickyard
The James family moved to Charlwood for London in 1964 into the house next door to the brickyard. This was supposed to have been built by Mr Dearn from bricks made in the actual brickyard. The ponds were called the Raft pond, the Long Pond and the Castle pond where my brother Don and I used to fish. I seem to remember we caught lots of perch, roach and rudd. Eventually these were filled in as excavated material ...see more

Charlwood Brickyard
My parents ran the Rising Sun pub in Charlwood where I lived from 1954-64. I often went fishing and sometimes even swimming at the Brickyard pond which at the time was owned by Mr. Dearn, whose son Malcolm I went to school with. In addition to the pond there were many old workings that used to flood forming a network of waterways, many of which contained fish. I now reside in Southern California and have fond memories of the Charlwood area.

The Lodge Mayfields Farm
Does anyone know of Mayfields Farm, Lowfield Heath, Charlwood Road, in 1935? I have found out that my Dad's sister {Joan Addy, 18 months old} drowned in the fishpond, around the day of the King's silver jubilee.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
