More about this scene

The lines of parked vehicles on both sides of the road tend to detract from the architectural riches of the fine Tudor, Georgian and Victorian buildings that adorn this spacious street; they are evidence of Faversham's hey-day as a branch of the Cinque port of Dover. It once housed the abbey founded by King Stephen in 1147, where he was buried with his queen Matilda. The site was excavated in 1964, and the remains of the great church, 360 feet long, can now be viewed.

Our Introduction To Faversham.
After our marriage in March 1962 my wife and I spent a short while in Gillingham, living with my mother and sister. My mother was managing a branch of Stuarts the Cleaners and we were aware that a similar vacancy was soon to be available in the Faversham branch.

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.
