More about this scene

When the ice retreated after the last Ice Age, deposits of boulder clay were deposited along the east coast. With no hard bedrock, this area is suffering from coastal erosion which is measurable in metres per year. It is a major ecological problem, and one that can only be solved by literally dumping thousands of tons of rock on to the beach.

Seaside Holidays
1954-55 we used to stay in a Wooden Bungalow on the cliff top, it was called Bay View and there was also a small, (Tiny) chalet in the front garden . At that time , the cliff edge was possibly 15 metres or so from the bungalow and there were steps cut into the cliff face to get down to the sands below.

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.
