More about this scene

The Castle Gatehouse 1898 The tour moves west to a remarkable building. It looks north over the wide, flat, formerly marshy valley of the River Arun and the Amberley Wild Brooks, and west to the narrowing valley as the river cuts through the South Downs. The castle started out as a manor house for the bishops of Chichester, but in 1377 Bishop Rede was given a licence to crenellate (that is, make a castle) to protect the Arun gap from possible French attack. Here we see the south gatehouse before its Edwardian restoration, which started in 1908, when the battlements were reinstated.

I Was Born In This Village
I was born in Amberley July 26th 1941, my sisters were evacuated there and mother and father came to visit them and then I came along! Memories are faint and distant, but holidays were spent there after the war with my sisters. The two ladies were so kind and treated us all like daughters, Mrs Webber and the other name is gone along with a lot of other memories. When I was married and had my two boys ...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.
