More about this scene

The Stone Bridge over the River Can - otherwise Bishop's Bridge or Moulsham Bridge - is the primeval hub of Chelmsford. There was probably a bridge here in Roman times. The current one was built in 1787 by John Johnson, County Surveyor, replacing a structure of 1372. South of the river, Chelmsford becomes Moulsham.

Pub In Victoria Road South
Does anybody remember the name of a pub that was in Victoria Road South? It was on the left hand side around 75 yards from Duke Street on the way to where the police station can now be found. It formed part of the island of buildings that stood between VRS and the Railway Station service road but must have been demolished in the early 1970s to make way for the present office block. Does anybody have any memories of the place?

Srn Training
I trained and qualified as an SRN in 1963 at Chelmsford and Essex Hospital. It was 3 years of hard work and fun. I wonder what has happened to the building.

Essex Police Cadet School 1970 1973
At 16 I joined the Essex Police Cadet School in 1970. The School was built in the late 1960s. Training at the School was for two years. On site education, accommodation and sports facilities was provided. We also were 'bussed' to Chelmsford College of a Further Education - here on a part time basis we obtained qualifications. Part of our training included participating in athletic events ...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.
