More about this scene

Sussex beaches are mostly shingle above high water mark, so it is understandable that the two miles of golden sand between the mouth of the River Rother and the shingle banks of Dungeness should develop as a holiday resort. At various points from Selsey, to Middleton to Camber, collections of ephemeral-looking buildings sprang up, some assembled from parts of railway carriages, or in fact from anything to hand.

When we arrived my Dad parked the bike on a knobbly hillside covered in grass and sand. We asked where the beach was and he told us to go up the hill and we would see it. Well, you can imagine our ...see more

The Beach

I lived with my sister, I was 9 when I first stayed with her. I spent many hours on the beach at Jury's Gap loving the feel of the sand and sun, it was safe in those days. Our dog, Whiskey was with me a lot of the time, although he used to wonder off for days on end. He'd come home when he was hungry. I still have fond memories of that beach, life was simple but fun. I would love to feel that way again.

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.
