More about this scene

The beautiful River Avon penetrates to the very heart of England at Shakespeare's Stratford. Since the early 1700s the Avon has been divided into two halves at Evesham – the Upper and Lower – which are owned and managed separately. An example of the improvement work carried out on the Lower section of the waterway below Evesham is plain to see in this photograph of Mythe Bridge, between Tewkesbury and Twyning. A rough load of timber has been stacked on the banks awaiting collection.

I'm trying to trace what happened to her, as there is know trace of her from 1962. Gratefuly yours, Clare

Tewkesbury (Common)
As a family living in the Black Country, we used to go out every Sunday in the summer with our (doings), as mom used to call them. In fact that was a camping gas stove to boil a kettle so we could have a cup of tea with our picnic. Dad seemed to know his way about everywhere or its seemed everywhere. Probably due to the fact he used to be a coach driver many years before I was born in 1964. One of our ...see more

The Haunted Wheatsheaf Inn
Does anyone remember reams of toilet paper hanging from one of the hanging baskets for a few days one year back in the 80's?? That was me, I threw the potty out of the window because I didn't like the smell! he he. Me and my family lived here in the 80's and ran it as a restaurant, we managed to make it into the Good Food Guide which my mum and dad are very proud of... I'm too young to remember it ...see more

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.
