More about this scene

Church Street, seen here from the end of Main Street, with the High Street meeting it from the left, leads past the parish church of All Saints, one of Nottinghamshire's best parish churches. In this view all is obscured except the tower, which was rebuilt in 1902. Badgers Lair, the cottage on the left, has had its brickwork roughcast and colour-washed and the windows replaced by leaded lights since the 1950s, while the former shop beyond has also been drastically altered.

My Birth Place
I was born at Sutton on Trent in 1938 and, as it was then, No.1 Station Road. My Dad worked for Nottinghamshire County Council, as a Road Foreman. Memories of my time spent growing up in the village were brought back at a celebration in the village Sports Club (April 27th 2013) arranged by the Boschetto family; this was to thank villagers who were around at that time for supporting the family and making ...see more

Old England Hotel And Mr Pike
In the mid and late sixties my family would travel from Glasgow to Kent every summer to visit relatives. Our overnight stop was always at the Old England Hotel and I have fond memories of walking round the village and finding it so different to where I lived in Glasgow. My memory is also of Mr Pike bringing a pre breakfast cup of tea in the morning, and greeting me with a very cheerful, ...see more

Carlton On Trent
My grandfather, Charles Arthur Evan, was signalman there. My mom Margaret Evans was born there in 1917, one of four daughters. She passed away nearly three years ago at 92 and as sharp as a whip. We emigrated to Canada in 1958. My mom and dad, James Peter Turner, knew so many of the folks in Tuxford and Carlton on Trent as they had the Fountain Hotel in Tuxford, also Cherry Tree Farm and a barbers shop on ...see more

Date Error.
The photo shows number 18 High Street, on the left, where Mr. and Mrs Miles lived. A small conservatory covered the ground floor windows in this view prior to 1964, when the house had alterations made. A double garage and kitchen extension were added and the rose garden was concreted over for the driveway. I remember when it was altered, the builders found rushes under concrete in the upstairs floors and rushes in the ceilings.

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.
