More about this scene

Initially a hamlet, the village of Barns Green dates from the Middle Ages, but grew rapidly during the 18th and 19th centuries following the opening of the Mid-Sussex railway line. Parker's shop opposite the green is one of two shops recorded in the village in the 1960s. In more recent years the village has been the annual venue for a very popular half-marathon road race.

I was 15 at the time and had many friends and fond memories of growing up in and around Barns Green. If anyone that can remember me and would like to swap memories, I would be happy to hear from them. I was a little young when 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.
