More about this scene

St John the Baptist stands high above the Bristol Channel on windswept Countisbury Common. The only remnant of the original medieval church is a carved bench end with a crowned swan and arms. The nave was rebuilt in 1716, the tower in 1835, and the arcade in 1846.

A Very Dangerous Route In The 1950's.
It was the late 1950's and we were travelling in a motorbike and sidecar. Mum and dad were on the bike and the two children (my brother and I) in the sidecar. We started to descend slowly down the hill, all wondering at the exciting views. All quiet, reflecting the concern of the parents.... Half way down and so good. Then, the penultimate bend. The brake line snapped. Swerving, stuttering bike, ...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.
