More about this scene

The pub is said to have been built as a farm in the mid 17th century, and it was licensed in 1721. It is alleged to have been the house of William Hogarth, the painter. Among its known drinkers were Thomas Gainsborough, Joshua Reynolds and David Garrick. The building seen in the photograph appears as an atmospheric drinkers' dream pub, with its low doorway stepping down into a dark panelled bar, with its inevitably yellowy-brown smoke-stained ceiling.

Horrible Place
We were there from 69 - 72. I say we. Me & my four sisters, Denise, Pauline, Joan, Isable & me June HASTIE. Anderson & Dunlop were vile. Scrubbing the floors until they were gleeming. We used to do that when we got home from school. Cleaning the bathroom. They use to make me clean behind the door where they would keep going in & out so the door would hit me. Testing the bath water to see if it was hot ...see more

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.
