More about this scene

Like many of the small resorts on the west coast of Wales, the largely Victorian seafront enjoys a very seasonal existence. Its original trade was as a fishing port, and 16th-century accounts tell of a great throng of boats assembling from 'around the kingdom' for the annual herring season. It must have been very different from this scene of holidaymakers on the beach. Modesty still demanded a few changing huts, and the overcoats some people are wearing suggest a determination to enjoy despite the weather!

The Bells Of Aber Dovey
My brothers and I would cycle from Borth to Ynyslas sand dunes from where we could see the village of Aber Dovey nestled on the other side of the estuary. We were told that on a clear day if you listened carefully you would hear church bells ringing beneath the waves. Due to the fast moving tidal flow around the estuary we were always careful not wander out too far onto the sand banks. The dunes were a peaceful haven for rabbits and wildlife.
Aberdovey, from Ynyslas 1933

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.
