More about this scene

Three young boys in the distinctive uniform of Christ's Hospital school at Horsham, accompanied by a lady, pass by the 16th- and 17th-century cottages which stood at the beginning of Farnham Road. These were demolished in 1957. The quartet had probably travelled to Guildford on the Horsham to Guildford Direct Railway, which had opened in 1865. The line was closed in Dr Beeching's drastic remodelling of Britain's railway network in 1965.

Butcher's Shop In North Street

I was born there, we lived in a flat over the shop and I have vivid memories of watching the carnival from the window. I also remember there was an abattoir at the back of the shop. I think the shop was called Colebrooks. We didn't live there ...see more

Castle Street Swimming Baths
I was a pupil at St Nicolas Primary School, Portsmouth Road, from 1964-1966. We went swimming at the Castle Street baths every week. I remember thinking even at the age of 10 how run down the street was and how old fashioned the baths were. The smell of chlorine was quite overwhelming as you went in. Frpm what I remember you actually went up a set of stairs from the street to get to the pool, which ...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.
