More about this scene

This view looks southwards towards the Corn Exchange, with the Chantry behind the photographer. On the left are the offices of the Herts and Essex Observer, where Harry Murdon printed the newspaper for 73 years until 1961. On the right are the arches of the council offices. In 1905, the fire brigade erected an arch across North Street to welcome King Edward VII on his visit to the town. The ornate water pump supplies a trough for weary horses.

1960 Bishop's Stortford
I remember staying here in 1959/1960 where my friend Mig had moved to. I lost touch and would love to know about her. We had a wonderful holiday together in Perranporth Cornwall. We actually got lost one night and were so relieved when we found our way back to the Golf Club where we were staying in a log cabin.We worked together briefly at the Economist 1959-1960. If she is reading this or anyone that knew her I'd love to know.. I think they moved away to London sometime.

I remember this building being Handscombes Ironmongers. And one end of it being a pram shop in the early 80's I think . I bought my parents their 25th wedding anniversary present in Handscombes... a dinner service in a Poppy design. Full service with tureens etc only cost £24.99! This was in 1978. They held their party at the Bell in Stanstead.

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
