My abiding memory of Ampthill is when I used to go to the Saturday pictures with my cousins and the fire engine would be called out. The only problem was the siren that called them out was the old wartime air-raid siren. What a noise !!! I lived in Maulden but often visited Ampthill. ... [more]

On the left just above the logo is a shop blind that used to protect the meat in the window display from sunshine (when it appeared). That blind was the bain of my life in 1952/3/4 when I was a so called "butchers boy". It never ran correctly on... [more]

Extracts From Harlington & Bedfordshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Harlington, inspired by Frith photos.

Here the photographer looks west from the Town Hall, and we can see the extensive encroachment onto the market place. Its Royal charter was confirmed as long ago as 1227. All the central buildings occupy part of the original market place, which was bounded by the buildings at the far right and left. In the distance is the parish church. On... [more]

In the far distance is the old Harpur School, now the Town Hall. It was supplemented by this fine Tudor-style battlemented building when the Harpur Trust built the Modern School, or the Harpur Schools, in the 1830s; the building was designed by the renowned local architect John Wing, whose son was a pupil, but was completed by John Blore. No longer a school, it was preserved as a frontage to a shopping centre. The... [more]
