More about this scene

Just south-east of Stopham Bridge is the confluence of the Arun and its most important tributary, the Western Rother, previously known as the Turning Stream or Westwater, which extended to Fittleworth, Midhurst and beyond. A record of the 17th century reveals that Fittleworth Mill was used for the production of flour and malt.

Fittleworth Mill 1950s
I have loved this view of the Mill ever since first discovering it as a young man of 17 or so in the early 1950s, and I have a virtually identical photograph of my own taken at that time. Sadly however I found on a visit yesterday that (at the moment anyway) it can no longer be enjoyed by the passing public, this classic view from the little road bridge just south of the Swan Inn now being nearly totally ...see more

1950s
My friend & I used to make camps in the top room of the old mill - health & safety didn't seem to exist then! Groups of us also spent days swimming in the river, having first collected egg sandwiches from the Swan.  We even once made our own raft (or the boys did) on which we were subsequently photographed by George Garland, a noted local photographer.

1950s
In 1956 we lived in Fittleworth (Orchard House) while I attended Midhurst Grammar School. I could listen to the church clock chime the hours if I woke up at night. I would like to hear from anyone who was there then. David Morris Victoria, B.C. Canada

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

Example of image retouching:

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.
