More about this scene

Newly opened in November 1965, the school stands in Gainsborough Road at the southern end of the town, and takes its name from the ancient stretch of woodland opposite its gates. It is now a grant-maintained comprehensive. It was one of the last to be built of what would be thirty- two schools serving the town by 1972.

Kingswood Comprehensive 1971 1977
I started here in 1971, we were in the technology block, Windsor house. I remember in the 3rd year my form teacher Mr Phillips ran away with one of the pupils and it made the Sunday papers. Mr Webb then took over. I left in 1977 and joined the Army and travelled the world. I have many fond memories of Corby. I had a different name back then that everyone took the rise out of, I wonder if anyone ...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.
