More about this scene

The village stands on the River Medway in a somewhat blighted industrial landscape. In 1895 there were already extensive lime and cement works in the neighbourhood, as well as a large paper mill. However, this view of the village street shows that there are still some historic buildings left in Snodland, despite its massive expansion. There is now a bypass which takes traffic away from the centre.

He wrote a poem about Kent and mentions a place called gamekeepers hill, which we think was in or around Snodland as it was a place him and his siblings used to play when young during the 60's/70's and he said it was a place he would like to be buried near. now obviously he can't be buried in the woods 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.
