More about this scene

Putting ashore the catch is a perennial attraction for bystanders on any jetty. These, judging by the smartness of their dress (complete with pocket handkerchief), are clearly not fishermen. The lantern in the after part of the fishing boat was by this time a legal requirement, as well, of course, as providing light for the men to work by during night hours. The letters SS denote a boat registered in the port of St Ives. The midships wheel, lying fore and aft, was used to make easier the back-breaking task of hoisting sails.

This is not so much a memory, but the man in the photo is my great, great, great grandfather, and his boat behind. I think the lady is Fanny Matthews who I believe is also a relative - but not sure how.

The Old Quay
This photo is taken from the Old Quay, the medieval original Newlyn pier. My family lived in a shop (general stores) overlooking on The Cliff facing, near the Fisherman`s Rest and the Red Lion pub and bus-stop. Idyllic days were spent as kids pottering around the small harbour - catching small crabs which lived in the granite stonework of the quay using limpet bait and a length of string only, also many of us learnt ...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.
