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.

Sparked a Memory for you?

If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?

I remember when I started my first job as a junior in the Westminster Bank in the background in 1964 -I stayed for just over 2 years and was then moved to Warminster branch and living in digs for the first time! I also remember the street being empty like this but only on a Sunday-you would be lucky to ever get this scene again with no cars!
I am researching my family tree and found the address of 117 High Street, Midsomer Norton for the family - does anyone know which building this would have been please? The family names were Frederick Callow, his wife Mary Jane and their children Stephen, Frank, Leonard and Lily. Also, did there used to be a workhouse in the vicinity please? Many thanks!
Has anyone any idea where Simmonds Rank, Chilcompton Road was in Midsomer Norton please? My grandfather used to live here in about 1910-1915. Many thanks.
Does anyone remember an old school building that used to be roughly where the library is now? I remember going in there with my school friend but I don't know what school it was.
