More about this scene

Many of the houses here have the initials NEC, standing for the New England Company that once owned the parish. On the left is the post office, which closed in the 1980s, and the Chequers Inn. Opposite is Victoria Place, dated 1837, the year Queen Victoria came to the throne. The single-storey cottage has been converted to changing rooms for the sports field. At the corner of the metal fence is the village sign, unveiled by Bill Heffer.

I can almost smell the warm summer farm smells when I think of it! Why were summers always long and hot when you were young? We played with two girls of about our age, ...see more

Childhood Memories!
Around about the time this pic was taken, I was 5 years old and my nan used to live in a house to the left of the picture. Her husband was head herdsman at Lord Ivor's dairy farm a little futher up the road. We (my brother, sister and me) used to visit often and I have such wonderful memories of playing around in the farm (no health and safety then!), watching my uncle bring the cows in for milking. I can still ...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.
