More about this scene

Allhallows is in the hundred of Hoo, close by the Thames. It looks as if the Rose and Crown might have at least one customer taking refuge from the cold winds of this exposed part of the Hoo Peninsula. Isolation led in the past to the area being a hotbed of smuggling. Today, once away from these few houses, you cannot avoid the dominating presence of the Isle of Grain power station chimney.

Living In Stoke And Allhallows
I moved to a caravan in Hoo in 1967-68 and went on to have two more children whilst living in Lower Stoke - my three kids went to the local primary school and even now talk about the freedom they had as kids living in the village and how their own kids have had very different lives. Most days my friend Anthea and I would walk with the kids and usually a couple of other kids tagged along and we ...see more

Happy Camping Days
We had many happy weeks down at the Allhallows campsite. I lived in Gravesend and we travelled by steam train to Allhallows. Also for a day out we would cycle as well, a long way but we were young. We met a lot of nice people from all over Kent & London. I had a lady friend who lived in Allhallows and may still live there. Her name was Susan and she lived at 14 Queensway. A lot of time has passed ...see more

Lazy Days At Allhallows
I have pics of me and my family camping in a bell tent at Allhallows. We then bought a caravan which I thought was fabulous, there wa my mum and dad, us kids, Dot, Carol, Charlie and me, Jenny, and a baby sister cam along in 1961. Our surname was Fox. We all used to go out in the mud and there was a big white thing like a horse's water trough to wash our feet in. We would always go down the arcade and ...see more

A Seaside Holiday At Allhallows
My earliest memories of the seaside are from the 1950's. We lived in Bexleyheath and - like most people - did not own a car in those far off austerity years after the war. For this reason our summer holidays were always on the nearby north Kent coast and we would travel by train! Our trip to Allhallows was eagerly awaited - we packed our cases and sent them on ahead. As the big day arrived we ...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.
