More about this scene

Caister, just north of Great Yarmouth, has a strong tradition for both fishing and its lifeboat. In 1901, the lifeboat was launched into a storm, and nine out of the twelve crew lost their lives. At the inquiry afterwards, the survivors were asked why they had carried on when conditions made a rescue impossible. Their answer, 'Caister men never turn back', has been the motto of Caister seafarers ever since.

Hi everyone! I’m hoping someone might have old photos from Caister Holiday Park in 1987, back when it was owned by Ladbroke. I went there with my mum and brother for my very first holiday — I was 5 at the time — and although Mum didn’t take any pictures, I’ve never forgotten it. I remember: • A kids playground built like a fortress right by the ...see more

First Flight
This is the plane I had my first flight in during the 1950s. My father had done some work for the owner/pilot , so as a reward we had a flight along the coast, I remember the pilot always used to dive bomb a large dune near where Caister Holiday Camp is .

Home Counties Dairy Belvedere Village
My father was a milkman, for Home Counties Dairy, the horses were stabled in Hodeson road, the bottling dairy was opposite the Eardley arms pub. The livery was green, and the trade mark a gold triangle. Milk then was in glass pint and half pint bottles with cardboard caps. They also sold small items beside milk.

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.
