More about this scene

'When the evening sun falls over St Davids Cathedral, gilding the old stone, shining on the gentle green hills, the white twisting roads and the little farms, the smallest “city” in the kingdom lies lost in its mighty memories. The sea wind drops, the smoke rises upward from the chimneys, and a man looking at the church in the hollow knows it to possess the longest memory in Britain.' These words by H V Morton sum up the charm of this diminutive city. The cathedral is seen across the magnificent Bishop's Palace built by Henry Gower.

Friends From Stdavids Now Living In Spain
We have friends living in Spain, up in the mountains of Murcia. Ian's wife, Elle, I believe originated from St Davids and surrounding area, while Ian was originally from London and then Hereford (a really charming couple). Hope they don't get embarressed. We have visited St David's a few times now, and its lovely cathedral and quaint shops. It also used to have horse and trap rides ...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.
