More about this scene

Brooke Cottage was the place to visit for parents and children alike if they had a sweet tooth, for it was formerly the village sweet shop and store. Next door there was a shoe shop and cobbler's. The dusty roads were regularly sprayed with water in the summer to protect walking pedestrians. Sometime after this picture was taken, the property was condemned and partly rebuilt using local flint.

Holiday
I was born in 1953, so I think it must have been 1958/59 when we had a holiday in Mundesley - but what may seem strange is we had an old scout ridge tent but it was put up at the back of a pub. Cannot recall what the pub was called. Remember my mum going to a shop and bought me a blue jeep with soldiers and that kept me happy all week - does this ring a bell with someone or am I totally bonkers.

Staying In The Manor Hotel On Holiday
When I was 12 years old my family came to Mundesley for the first time. We stayed in the Manor Hotel. It was me, my brother, mother and father and my lovely grannie. I remember loving my stay here, the food was excellent, the people so friendly and being kissed in the swimming pool by a boy who was older than me called Robert. (Maybe that's what brought me back many many years later to live ...see more

I was born on 18 September 1962 in my mum & dad's bedroom at AMQ6, Fraser Crescent, Mundesley-On-Sea.

Happy Childhood
We lived at number 3 Fraser Crescent from 1958 until 1962. My father was an airman at the time. My brother was born in the prefab in 1960. Imagine my delight to recognise myself in the photo. I am the taller girl in the patterned dress on the right of the picture. Mum's rule was that I must not go through the gate without her. As you can see, we are standing beside the road. This is why I am not facing the front. ...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.
