More about this scene

From Bridgwater we head south-east into Sedgemoor to Othery, a village built on a low hill that rises 60 feet above the Moors. The main A361 Taunton road loops through the village, with the church in the back lane. This view looks south-west along the A361. The former Congregational Chapel, with a reused date plaque of 1836, was rebuilt about 1883 when the hall beyond was added.

My Home
I was born in the third house along on this photo and I like to think that the child in the photo next to the telegraph pole is in fact me. My Mum and Dad had six of us children and quite often my Mother would be looking after an elderly relative as well, it beats me how we all used to fit. I used to have this photo once upon a time, I bought it from the local Post Office as a post card but I lost it years ago so it's ...see more

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.
