More about this scene

Milborne Port lies east of the Dorset town of Sherborne. It is noted for its parish church, which combines Anglo- Saxon detail and features with Norman work, a late 11th-century phase cumbersomely termed Saxo-Norman Overlap. It is a most interesting church; you will find it down a lane to the right off the busy London Road, the A30.

Willingdon College
My parents evacuated me to Ven House around 1941. I was 11 years old. My memories of the school are many. The brook that ran under Ven House entrance and the dares to go through it, the poor food, playing football on the pitch with the cow patties. I remember the dog fights of our Spitfires in the Battle of Britain. It was so long ago, but I do have fond and, sometimes, pretty rotten memories of it. If ...see more

Former Landlord
Whilst doing our family history, we discover that the Andrews family were former proprietors of The Kings Head in Milborne Port. His name was Frederick James Andrews and his wife Annie. His son, Frederick Elisha Andrews married my Great Aunt, Stella and he went on to manage a small brewery near York. In the 1890s Frederick Elisha was a boarder at nearby Gillingham Grammar School.

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.
