More about this scene

Each week, on market day, colourful stalls line the pavements of the High Street, and shoppers come from all over East Devon as they have for centuries. The Honiton Garage (left), a reminder of carefree motoring days, has been replaced by a supermarket. The solid brick building two doors down, then the National Provincial Bank, is now Natwest. Further down is Boots the Chemist, the Midland Bank, the Lamb Inn and Moors Garage.

Memories Of The Otter Inn Weston
I was about two years old when my family were the landlord and landlady of the Otter Inn, their names were William and Gwendoline Davis, my name is Jane. I went to school at the Marist Convent Ottery St Mary. I used to love watching the Army do river crossing in our orchard, we had so many happy years at the Otter Inn, too may to recount here.

My Time With The Army At Honiton 1968 1969
From 1968-1969 I was posted to Honiton with the Royal Welch Fusiliers. I was an army cook aged just 19 at the time. I thought that it was a lovely place,  posted to Hong Kong. I also remember an old American guy who ran a cafe on the High Street, he settled there after WW2. We used to drink at the Volunteer pub. My camp was Heathfield camp, I expect it has been built on now? I must pay a visit some time to see what it like now.  Robert Fuller

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.
