More about this scene

We are looking south to King Hall. This peaceful village to the south of Marlborough is one long street retaining many old cottages. To the left is The Old Bakery, an 18th- century brick house, which then had a newly thatched roof. The grand house at the top is King Hall, dating from the early 19th century. It is said to have been built on the site of a house belonging to the King's tax gatherer, hence its present name. Note the cobbled paving on the extreme left.

1973
Hi, I lived in lots of places when I was young including Pewsey, Marlborough where I was born, Hook near Wootton Bassett, and Wootton Rivers. My memories of Milton were living at No3 The Crossroads opposite the garage, until 1973 when I was around 5 or 6 years old. Me and my brother used to walk to the 2 room school, my sister was only 2 or 3 then.  We could get 2 pink bubble gums for a penny then, half a pence each! ...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.
