More about this scene

A little further on is the Plough, which we can see on the right behind the telephone kiosk (which is still there). The lane behind Frith's photographer becomes the track up to Leith Hill. Behind the pub and the house rears the wooded slopes of Anstiebury Camp, one of Surrey's finest Iron Age hillforts, dating from the second century BC; its ramparts enclose over 11 acres.

Chris and I were so homesick for our friends and fun days down the beach. We were very lucky that the spell of our beautiful surroundings soon eased our depression - it was a wonderful couple of years. We made friends with ...see more

My Childhood In Coldharbour
In July 1959, I was born at home, to Eric and Ann Shields in Coldharbour village.  My father was the village policeman; we lived in what was then the police house, which was situated next to the village shop opposite the schoolhouse.  All of these properties have now been turned into private homes, but in the scheme of things, the wonder of Coldharbour is how little has changed in almost 50 years.

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.
