More about this scene

The memorial behind the railings on the right was unveiled in November 1921. It was sculpted in Portland stone by Messrs H H Martyn & Co Ltd of Cheltenham from a design by Walter Cook. The figure is of Britannia, with emblems representing sacrifice and victory below her. Originally intended to commemorate the soldiers killed in the First World War, it now also records the victims of the Second World War, the Women's British Legion and the Falklands War. Also note the Provident Clothing and Supply Co Ltd just behind it, and the decorator on his ladder (centre left).

Bridgend
My family moved to Bridgend, as my father had a job with British Rail and could not cope with the shift work and travel to and from Chippenham. We moved to number eight Garfield Avenue and next door to Mrs O'Connell and her daughter and grandaughter, Jane Evans. We loved it as children. We went to the beach every weekend, and Sunday School, and there were sheep and ponies in our front garden eating mum's plants when ...see more

Mum And Me In Bridgend !
I have the original post card of this picture, bought in 1950 by my Mum. I was delighted to see it was one of the Frith Prints. It's hard to see that we are on it, as the Frith watermark is right on us (not on the Frith print I purchased of course), but there is a blonde person lifting a push bike onto the pavement, and we are walking away just to the left of that person. I was five years old, with my hair in ...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.

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.
