More about this scene

There were to be three types of shopping: the open-air market, a variety of shops on three sides, and a first-floor row of shops that did not need a window display, such as hairdressers, opticians, photographers, and a restaurant overlooking the market, with bridges, stairs and terraces between.

Bernards
We used to buy our Latton Bush uniforms from Bernards which was on the ground floor of the building which can be seen behind the steps, facing into the market square. The shop was owned by the Cocklins whose daughter went to Latton Bush. She left to go to stage school, and became known as Cheryl St Clair, and married Michael Barrymore!!!

Smells
I can remember the fresh clean smell of linen from Burgesses dress shop and the smell of wallpaper coming from Clarks, the painting and decorating shop and the bar of chocolate that had pictures of four boys' faces on and came out of the sweetshop there called Fourbouys.

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.
