More about this scene

The pinnacled tower of Oakley church has a sturdy staircase turret, a fine Tudor doorway, and a memorial window to William Warham, a local boy, reputedly born at nearby Malshanger House, who became Lord Chancellor and Archbishop of Canterbury. The window shows him dressed in brown and golden robes with one of his hands holding a cross and the other raised in blessing.

Farleigh Dene. Cliddesden
My father, Syd Cheale, was an evangelist with the European Christian Mission and we cared for many children and teenagers at Farleigh Dene in Cliddesden, Basingstoke. Dad and Mum told them about the Bible and Christianity. My parents prayed for many years for a revival in the Churches and a Charismatic Revival began in our very home there in Cliddesden in the 1960s. It was the start of the Charismatic ...see more

Happy Childhood Memories
I accessed this print because it is a picture of my 'Aunt and Uncle's' shop which we stayed in on many happy occasions. My mother was cousin to Mrs Cooper but, as is often the case with village people, they were very close and spent time together rather like sisters; so we were and are treated as close family members. The shop for us was a special place as it was surrounded by a very large garden with a ...see more

Ancient Burial Mounds
I can remember ancient burial mounds at Battledown (along Pack Lane, towards Kempshott) and on some of the farms surrounding Oakley. Does anybody know their age?

Railway
My father and his brother used to visit East Oakley as children, in the 1930s. They stayed in (we think) Railway Cottages, the family was William Catch and his wife Rose (who is my great grandmother). If anyone has any information it would be lovely to hear from you. William Catch worked on the railway as a plate layer. They later moved to Southsea. Any information would be really helpful.

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.
