More about this scene

Here we are looking up School Hill towards what was the New Inn, kept by Albert Howard, who started supplying fuel for the new motorcar, perhaps in addition to beer for the passengers. The petrol pumps were still in situ when Frith's photographer took this picture. The school, which is still flourishing, is on the right just round the bend - note the old 'torch of learning' school sign. The school opened on this site in 1915. It was built using timber from Russia.

Iremember when Ry and Tania took over the Roma and we had the Maltsters at Badby. And I remember when the takings went missing from the 'music on the green' charity event last Sat, June 2008. [Well, someone has to leave a comment.]

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
