More about this scene

The four-storey round tower in the distance at the south-east angle, strongly built, remains today in perhaps the best state of preservation of all the castle buildings. When the castle was under siege, one might have expected many men to be stationed here, yet there are no hearths or latrines. The large chimney on the guardroom (centre) is of a style attributed to the Flemings, who arrived with the Normans.

A Seaside Holiday By Manorbier Beach
Although this view of Manorbier Castle dates from 1890 it is the only photo in the Francis Frith collection which shows the nearby beach. I am happy to record our family's day on the beach here and it is unchanged more than 120 years later! My granddaughters Anna and Connie helped me to build a sandcastle and watched the incoming tide wash it away. Anna climbed in and out of the rockpools ...see more

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.
