More about this scene

Sweden. Small fish rejected by Icelanders were brought to Teignmouth in Pike Ward`s boat Elise. In 1900, 100 tons were brought in for local consumption. Over 20 ships were wrecked in the bay between 1850 and 1917. A contemporary sign near the Yacht Club HQ explains the legal protection of Church Rocks Wreck, which was discovered by local teenager Simon Burton Frith's Teignmouth The Promenade during a snorkling expedition in 1975. A sig- nificant bronze cannon lifted from the site led to years of serious archaeological excavation, revealing the scant remains of a 15th century vessel embedded deep in the sand. Channel 4`s `Time Team` have investigated the site, which is restricted to designated divers. A host of fascinat- ing relics recovered from the wreck can be seen in Teignmouth Museum.

Pre War Teignmouth
Wandering through the old photos prompted a memory of the opening of the Boating Pond. What year was that? With others from the Barbara Spencer Edwards dance school, wearing white pleated skirts navy blue waistcoats and hats, we stood in the water by a large model of Drake’s Golden Hind and felt very important! I was born in Teignmouth and lived there until 1940 when the family moved to Weston super Mare. ...see more

A Hotel At The Top Of Teignmouth Over Looking The Sea
Does anyone remember the name of this hotel. I stayed there when I was doing a short course for a bank in 1967? Anyone remember staying there then. It had a very fancy name. I was a bit home sick as it was the first time I had gone away on my own from home for work. It was in the winter months. I would love to go back there but I am not sure if the hotel is still there?

Teignmouth In The 1970's
Teignmouth was a very different place then. You could use 2p's to go on the rides which used to be dotted a long the seafront, also there wre lots of boat trips you could go on. Even the train fare was cheaper, there used to be a row of houses by the train station before they built the Co-Op carpark.

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.
