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.

Before my father passed away, he told me of a murder at the Mote House (Ightham Manor). Apparently, my great aunt Alice worked there as a housekeeper, when the murder of Caroline Mary Luard took place in 1908. She was found shot in the summerhouse - the case was never solved. Before my aunt died, she told my father that the murderer was the Major, (Caroline's husband). I dont know how accurate this is, but quite interesting don't you think?
We - my parents and their five sons - lived at Beaconsmount, a house formerly owned by the Maules and before them, the Staggs.

The bus-stop itself was called Maule's Corner all through our time. We used to ...see more
