More about this scene

At least the students here did not suffer the timetable imposed upon the Grammar School by Dr Magnus. He recommended that the school day should begin at 6.00?am and go on till 9.00?am, when breakfast was to be taken. Lessons were to resume at ten and go on till mid-day, when dinner was to be served. The afternoon session was to start at either one or half-past and continue until 6.00?pm. The good doctor did say that scholars were to be allowed some afternoons off, but only so that they could attend Mass.

My Great Great Grandfathers Shop Is In This Photo!
Having been doing a lot of research on my Great great Grandfather Joseph Cutts Carter, I have managed to locate where his Glass and China shops were during his life. He actually unexpectedly passed away in 1906 at the age of 63, I know this from a very detailed article about his life which was in the Newark Herald April1906. The article mentions he had two shops at that time in ...see more

Saracens Head Newark.
This hotel is mentioned in The Heart of Mid-Lothian by Sir Walter Scott written in 1817. Jeanie Deans is walking from Edinburgh to London and at Ferrybridge is advised to stay next at The Saracens Head Newark. Not anything mentioned about her stay but when leaving "Jeanie inquired what was her 'lawing'" "The lawing? Heaven help thee wench! What ca'st thou that"? "It is - I was wanting to ken what was to ...see more

Paddling Pool
My first memory is when I was a toddler playing in the paddling pool with all the moms sitting chattering on the benches. When I was about seven (about 1972) I was allowed in the big pool but I could only just stand in the shallow end with my nose and chin sticking out of the water. There was a big fountain as you paid your 5p and went through the turnstile. A café sold drinks and ices and beyond that was a play ...see more

Farndon Ferry
the ferry was run by Charles Edward Saxby until his death in 1959. It was then taken over by Sidney Clarke until approx. 1968. In the floods of 1963/4 we couldn't cross the river and had to row across the fields to Rolleston to collect food. When the floods receeded we used to collect the fish in buckets from the hollows in the field behind the ferry house and throw them back in the river I always understood that it was classed as a Queen's ferry (one of only two) and could not be closed.

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.
