More about this scene

Easneye, originally called Isneye, was the home of the Buxton family after 1866, when Thomas Fowell Buxton purchased the estate - it comprised thick woodland. The new house, completed in 1869, was designed by Alfred Waterhouse, who was also the architect of St Pancras station and the Natural History Museum. The exterior of the house was used as St Trinian's School in the series of films starring Alistair Sim and George Cole. Today, Easneye is home to the All Nations College for Missionaries.

Playing In The Woods
My Mum grew up and stayed in Stanstead Abbotts. We lived in a house in Thele Avenue. We often walked up Cats Hill with our Dad and played in the woods. Quite a beautiful place to grow up.

Double White Lines
Between July 1966 and December 1970 I was one of the two policemen living in Stanstead. By the time I moved to the village, double white lines had been painted all the way up Cats Hill. I reported a number of car drivers who took a chance and overtook slow moving lorries going up the hill, sometimes narrowly avoiding a collision with a car which was approaching over the brow of the hill.

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.
