More about this scene

Broad Street hints at Ottery's original Saxon street layout. To the left is the confectionary shop of H Bovett; then comes the Volunteer Inn, and in the distance the premises of the East Devon Motor Company - unchanged in use today, for it is still a garage. In the centre of Broad Street is Granger's Stores. In 1938 the proprietor was W D McClymont.

Radio Intercom
I used to work for a radio paging company in the 1960's called Radio Intercom. It was based in Batts Lane, next to the old fire station.

I'd love to hear from you.

Our House!
How funny! We now own and live in this house. It has barely changed since this photograph, although it is no longer a guest house and its name is different. There are some barns and a coach house in the background which have been partly demolished; a small conservatory has been added to the left of the porch. We believe the people who ran it as a guest house were called Haywood, his first name being Cecil. He had ...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.
