More about this scene

This low tide view from the Outer Breakwater looks northwards to Victoria Pier and the town as the Weymouth paddle- steamer 'Duchess of Devonshire' reverses away from the Cobb. The cobbler and town crier George Legg, in Silver Street, used to be the agent for the steamer operators Cosens & Company. Summer day trips reached beaches, piers and ports from Torquay to Bournemouth. This shot looks northwards to Marine Parade (centre) and beached boats at Cobb Gate.

Coram Court, Lyme Regis.
It was so good going through all the photos. I worked in Coram Court from 1968 until 1970 and I loved every minute of it. The photos brought back a lot of happy memories.

School Journey 1960
Magical trip for a 14 year old working class boy attending Sinjuns Grammar School - a two week school journey to Lyme Regis. We had no car of our own, so bicycles and coach, bus and train journeys provided the backdrop to holidays. Holidays with mum and dad were always daytrips without overnights and cafes and picnics rather than restaurants and pubs. Walking was popular with many "are we there yet"s and "..just ...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.
