More about this scene

Further along Nottingham Road, Frith's photographer looks eastwards towards Hill Top with the junction with Edward Road between the hedge and the wall. At this corner stands a war memorial to the Eastwood men who served in the Sherwood Foresters regiment during World War I. Part of the hedge is now railings, but the row of Lombardy poplars survive, now more mature, and so does the plane tree (right).

My theme is "Thank you for the Music", as both sides of my parents' families were very musical and it is a big part of my life here in Oz. I've started with my mother's family who were born and brought up in ...see more

Watnall
1940 - I had joined the W.A.A.F in London and chose to be posted to Nottinghamshire; I was just 18 and my posting was firstly to Hucknall and then to Watnall when the Ops room was ready. 1940 was a dreadful winter but thanks to the snowfalls the whole area was transformed. Our huts, we were told by the locals, had been built on the site which had been the local village pond. The Royal Oak was our local pub, just a few ...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.
