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.

The image is from july 1948,not 1955. The ship in the photo is the SS CLAN FARQUHAR she arrived at Wards shipbreaking yard in july 1948.
Learnt to swim there... well, pushed in - bloody cold! I have now swam all over the world and scuba dived. I have swam over to the other side of the Haven from just under the pool, then got a thick ear for doing it... grounded for a month. Still swim when I can - now do a lot of shooting.
I used to fish from the fishmeal wall when it was working, caught my first mullet there and lots of smelt to eat. When the tide was out I made a spear to fish in the stream that was left, and fish for flat fish to eat. I used to live at 93 Combes Drive... them where the days.
When we were down in Pembrokeshire we sometimes walked back from Hakin Primary School to Hazelbeach and Black Bridge was a landmark on the way. I remember the rotting hulks of the old barges in the Pill and the transformation of the tide, turning a muddy inlet into an attractive little valley. On the turn of the tide there was a flood from the culvert under Black Bridge as the waters behind flooded out towards the sea.
