More about this scene

Little remains of Guildford Castle, once a favourite royal residence where many princes of the blood were brought up. The original Norman castle was built partially on an earlier Anglo-Saxon fortification, a stone keep being added in the 12th century. Apart from the remains of the keep shown here, an arch from the outer gateway still stands in Quarry Street.

Guildford Swimming Baths
I learnt to swim in the old Castle Street Baths. The old changing cubicles were a nightmare as the "wash" from the pool always resulted in wet socks!

Indoor Baths, Castle Street
I remember the old cottages alongside the castle and the wonderful indoor baths. I have often tried to find pictures of the baths (inside and out) but if anyone has any to share would love to see them.

Update On Castle Street
The houses in Castle Street have been knocked down some 20 years ago. I used to live in no 18 and used to play in the castle grounds since we had no garden.

As A Child
I remember going with my nan to see her sister Maud Chennell who used to live in Castle Street.  I remember it as being a very small house.  I remember my great aunt had a musical box shaped like a swiss cabin.  I used to love to play with it.  And eating the finger style trifle sponges.  I would love to know if those little houses are still there?

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.
