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.

My father was stationed at Bassingbourn 1942-1945. Mother was a nurse in England during WW2 and I was born in England in 1945. We lived in Royston at 14 Green Street. My mother and myself came to the US in 1947. I still have relatives in England (Stotfold, Henlow and Lincoln) and Scotland (Paisley and Dumfries). Mom and Dad were at Glenn Miller's last concert. They were on a first name basis and he called them everytime he was in Royston.
I lived on the camp site for 5 years - my father was the link trainer for pilots there. I can remember going to the cinema there - smoking up the back - then realising my mum and sister were in there that same night !!!! I must have been about 12 at the time. There was the Church Army canteen where my older sister went - the thrift shop where you could buy and sell things and my mum went to the Naafi once a week. ...see more
