This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Parrog has changed very little in the 4 decades that I have been visiting and probably for decades before my arrival.  I first visited as a child each year and now take my own daughter there each year too.  The houses remain the same, only the faces change (some of them anyway - we're almost all repeat visitors).  It is totally unspoilt by the modern world yet has everything you need. The activities my daughter ...see more
