More about this scene

A glorious array of colour greeted visitors to this part of the town, which had something for everyone. At the time it was home to the Carry On film star Charles Hawtry, who no doubt visited the Corner Parlour (left) for a cup of tea or coffee. Next door is the Beachbrook Hotel and a fishing tackle shop. A long pier off to the right offered amusements and a superb place to fish.

Castle Lea B&B Gladstone Road
Does anyone remember this B&B, located at No.2 Gladstone Road? It was run by two guys, Bryan & Michelle, one of whom was a fabulous cook. We stayed there several times back in the 70s. Wonderful hospitality! I often wonder what happened to Bryan and Michelle.

Cowper Road
I lived at No. 16 Cowper Road from 1968 to 1978. A really lovely house, and many happy times spent there. We bought it for £5,500 and our mortgage was £20.00 a month.

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.

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.
