More about this scene

The lanes from Bentham lead on to the A46, behind the photographer. Cheltenham is six miles away. This is an early shot of the Crosshands roundabout at Brockworth. The roundabout now houses a large public house and a Shell garage. The old Roman road, Ermin Street, is a right turn off this roundabout. Coopers Hill looms in the distance, the site of the annual cheese-rolling races.

I could write for hours on any number of life changes involved in that migration, but I'm hoping someone might have class or sports photos from that time to replace my own that were stolen by a former class member who also migrated to Australia ...see more

Walks
Brockworth oh Brockworth, what a lovely village! I grew up there and my dad used to take my brother Melvyn and I for walks up the hill. Castle Hill and Coopers Hill. I remember walks from 1975 onwards, especially on the lower slopes of Coopers Hill where we used to stop at the spring and have some water from it. Boy oh boy that used to be freezing, until the summer of 1976. A very hot year that was, the spring was not as ...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.

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.
