More about this scene

Staines may have got its name from the stone- paved remains of a branch of the Roman road of Akeman Street, that once ran to the important Roman station of Ad Pontes nearby, or perhaps from a Roman milestone that once stood here. Some have said that the name comes from the 'London Stone' or 'Staines Stone' which marked the jurisdiction of the city over the Thames at this point. Clarence Street dates probably from the time of the Georgian expansion of the town.

Upon arrival, I parked and knocked on the door. My Aunt Marjorie spoke from an upstairs window and asked who I was and what I was doing there. I explained and she said, “You’ve come at a most inopportune time, he’s at work”. I ...see more

Craig’s Garage
I lived in Ruskin Road, Craig’s Garage was on the corner. I used to go in there as a little kid and ask if someone would help me across the road to go to Weston’s paper shop. I remember you having Humber Snipes and Humber imperials for sale and the the Commer camper vans. When I learned to drive in one of your Hillman Imps. An elderly guy with a pipe taught me and put me through my test. My first car a mk1 cortina your ...see more

Saturday Morning Pictures!
Anyone remember queuing up for Saturday morning pictures? The queues were long and we all looked forward to the exciting serial with cliff hanger ending each week, cowboys like Roy Rogers and Hopalong Cassidy, cartoons like Bugs Bunny and the escapades of the children in 'Our Gang'. I think in those days Staines had three cinemas; The Regal, The Majestic and another one, commonly known as The Fleapit. A ...see more

The Ship Inn
My grandfather Charles Maillou and one of his brothers used to own the Ship Inn. It was located near Staines Bridge and the Causeway , they owned the pub prior to WWII and not sure for how long. The business also included included a coach company. We lived at Glebe Road as did my grandparents and I went to Egham Hythe Infants, Junior and Secondary ModernThe Magna Carta) Schools. Would love to see any old photos or learn of any history of the pub if anyone one has some .

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.
