More about this scene

In the central High Street stands the Prince of Wales (left), which features the royal plume of feathers on its sign - Duchy of Cornwall lands stretch westwards around Dorchester. Though it now looks like a typical early 20th- century roadhouse, the Prince of Wales has much older origins: the earlier thatched hostelry was burnt down in 1930. The replacement incorporates salvaged fittings, including ceiling beams and an oak boss carved with a Tudor rose.

I remember many of the troops were billeted with us in the house, at one time we had fifteen staying in the attic. We also had two American officers with us, one was Captain Pape West, I cannot remember the name of the other. My mother played the organ in church and ...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.
