More about this scene

Looking in the opposite direction to No S23030 (page 79), we can see on the right-hand site of the street two of the 48 public houses that could be found in the town in 1889. Both the Golden Lion and the Robin Hood are still trading, but the cycle shop (near right) has been replaced by a ladies' dress shop.

Tractors
Monday market, being taken there by my Mum to do the shopping and then being indulged by the generous salesmen from Standens agricultural engineers and allowed to sit up in the (then) enormous cab and glory in watching our market hub-bub flowing past whilst imagining myself ploughing some vast Fen field. ( Genetics? My eldest son is now an agricultural equipment engineer and has always loved being around the machines.)

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.
