More about this scene

Cobham stands on Watling Street and was once a busy market centre. It was here that Charles Dickens wrote and set some of 'The Pickwick Papers', and where the 'clean and commodious ale-house' to which Mr Tuppence retried from the world could be found. A half century after the era of Dickens there are still several places where the traveller can take refreshment: Webb's is advertising teas, next door is a tea garden, and beyond that yet another sign advertising refreshments. St Mary Magdalene's church in the village contains the county's first collection of monumental brasses, commemorating the Cobham family.

New Moon Café

I’m researching the New Moon Café, The Street, Cobham. It was opposite The Little White Lion. It was owned by Bob and Lottie Bush during the war. My great-great grandmother Katherine Overington and my great-grandmother Ivy Cattermole lived and worked there in 1946 for some years, and apparently Ivy Cattermole took ownership. I’d love to know anything about the café or of my great-grandmother Ivy Cattermole. Many thanks, Sinéad

Sweet Shop Tartar Road
I remember in the late 1970's / early 1980's walking to a sweet shop in Tartar Road from Freelands Road, where my Nan lived. The shop was converted back into a house shortly afterwards. The memory is so vague that I am starting to believe I made it up. Please could someone help me make sense of this? Thank you x

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.
