More about this scene

From Victorian times up to the start of the Second World War, Goudhurst and other Wealden villages among the hop fields were subjected to an annual late summer invasion of entire families from South London and the East End, who supplied the labour force for the harvesting of the crop. The workers were paid on a piece- rate, and here the overseer is seen entering the result of one family's endeavours into his record book. Central Kent

Youth Hostel
I stayed here when it was a Youth Hostel. We had to sleep on the floor in a gallery with a large tapestry. One of our group swore that they saw a ghost during the night. I remember that there was a Priest Hole accessed through a cupboard in the corner of one of the upper rooms. The kitchen still had a lot of the original hooks and fittings. One of these was said to be where people were tied to be flogged.

Mike would introduce us to locals who would buy us drinks to thank us for getting ...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.
