More about this scene

Before the by-pass this was the main road through the town; it is now pedestrianised. On the left, Vanstone's, gents' outfitters, has a carved bressumer with figures that are linked to the Argentine family. J W Ebbs' electrical shop next door was once an ironmonger's, and was run by the father and grandfather of Sir David Frost. To the right, the shop with the Hovis sign is still a baker's; Jacksons has been rebuilt but remains an ironmonger's; and further on, the White Hart has become shops.

Throughfare
I used to love coming to Halesworth such quaint village ..we got off from the train and wait inside little out cove of weighing scales for shelter from the rain. wait for nan to come and collect us. nan and granddad [ Ingate ] living on a farm up the top of the hill. we used to go help in the holiday time. old farm cottage smells of all pickled onions and chutneys and jams within larder. I wonder if any one knew them? does anyone remember greyhound public house who actually ran it

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.
