More about this scene

Chalfont St Giles retains much more of its heritage and character than its southern neighbour, Chalfont St Peter, with a High Street lined with good buildings, a pond and the parish church tower peering above the tiled roofs. The 17th century brick cottages in front of the tower in this view were built as charity cottages. The church itself has a Norman south aisle and sits in a delightful churchyard with the backs of timber-framed cottages on one side and the Misbourne in its valley on the other.

Childhood Memories Of The Village Pond
My friends and I spent many hours catching Sticklebacks in the pond. A fishing net cost tuppence in those days and was regarded as a lot of money but worth every penny. After the war it was so sad to see the pond gradually disappearing and like so many other childhood memories just fading away.

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.
