More about this scene

Marloes village and the sands that are so attractive to holidaymakers were well served by this charming little building. It served as the post office and general stores until around 1965. The wonderful sandy beaches of the Sands have a backdrop of stunning rock formations in shale and sandstone. Holidaymakers may not always have known about the 130 or so Iron Age hut circles that exist on Gateholm Island, accessible at low tide.

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.
