More about this scene

Ferry Lane, on the so-called Pilgrims' Way, runs down to the River Wey and the site of the former ferry, which was inaugurated prior to 1377. The ferry ran for the last time in 1964, but the present footbridge was not built until 1985, linking again the two halves of the North Downs Way.

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.
