This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Living In Hopton On Sea
My memory was triggered by the person writing about the Constitutional Camp's hall/ballroom building being burnt down. At the time I was attending the Primary School in the village and we could see the smoke and flames from our classroom. Our lovely Head teacher Mr Etheridge allowed us all to go onto the playing field and watch as the fire engines rushed through the village to attend the fire. I think he ...see more

Constitutional Holiday Camp
I worked at the Golden Sands Holiday Camp, 1961. Had the most fun. One evening, one of the workers had an invite to join a party at the Constitutional Holiday Camp. We ran across the cornfield behind our girls chalets -and back later that evening. The following day, we all were called in front of Manager, Mr. Petty, and an irate farmer. We could not deny going through the waist high corn - there was the pathway, to and from our chalet block. Ah but we had fun. Bonny Cother

Waitressing At The Constitutional
While I was at university I spent the summer holiday vacations waitressing at Hopton's holiday camp,1952, 1953 and 1954. I am now living in Devon and am in the same drama as a male friend who had holidayed there in his late teens, almost certainly when I was there. No two waitresses could have the same name so I was called 'Sally'. I had a wonderful time there, worked very hard, played hard ...see more

Constitutional Holiday Camp
As a young lad we visited the Constitutional Holiday Camp for a number of years, as far as I can remember I went with my parents from about 1949 to 1955. At that time my parents were living in East London which even by then was still suffering from the results of the wartime bombing, and to visit Hopton was of course a breath of fresh air (in more ways than one). I can always remember the chalets ...see more

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
