More about this scene

The Village c1955 Pevsner likened Hamble to a West Country fishing village, and he was right to make the comparison. With its steep, winding streets and pretty cottages, there is a definite hint of Devon or Cornwall about it. Take a stroll through the village and you will be surprised at just how many pubs there are. The Victory Inn can be seen down the street, and round the corner, not visible in this picture, is The Bugle, Hamble's famous riverside inn, which probably dates from the 12th century.

Post Office
My father was the post man in Hamble in the 20s. He was born 1913.Just before he died at the age of 90 I took him back to Hamble.He remembered most of the names of the people in the cottages ,he showed me the two trees that him and his mates used as goal post when he went to the school in School lane, they had grown a bit by then. He remembers the Hookers bakery , and he was in the sea scouts. His name was REG VARE, he died 10 years ago , so I doubt if any of his mates are left

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.
