More about this scene

Randell House was previously called All Saints' Home; it housed young homeless children from London slums until 1937, when it became a house of rest and prayer for ladies. At the outbreak of the Second World War it closed for a short time. The home was handed over to the Royal United Kingdom Beneficent Association in 1953, who modernised it. It is now run as a charitable senior citizens' residence.

Hawley, My Earlier Memories
I lived at Briar cottage just up from Mrs Stencil's pig farm and went to Hawley county primary school during 1959 1960 I think. We then moved up Fernhill road to Manor lodge which at that time I believe belonged to the RAF and the army, what a wonderful place to live as a small child. Does anyone have any photos of either place or the area around that time please?

Hawley Hotel
I remember the Hawley Hotel very well. I was a bridesmaid to my uncle and his new wife who had their reception there. We also used to go for Sunday lunches there and later on in years it used to host a evenings for C B clubs (before the days of mobile phones!!)

Marriage
My paternal great grandfather, Thomas Feasey, married Kate Amelia Lovegrove in Hawley on 4th January 1879. Does anyone else have a memory of Thomas and Kate?

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.
