More about this scene

As a result of the expansion of the town since 1959 due to London overspill, much of the center was redeveloped. The buildings in the distance, including National Stores and Jarvis, the butchers, have been demolished. The grand building was the Corn Exchange of 1889. On the right are Barclay's Bank, Merchant's, haberdashers, the post office, Bell, the Co-op (with dome), and Poole's, furnishers.

The Beatle were popular and so all the boys would run ...see more

Standard Public House
I moved here with my parents and brother back in 1969, my parents John & Joan were the first publicans in the new Standard Public House on the Parkway, we moved from Cambridge into this new and exciting phase of our lives, hardly a car parked anywhere along Queensway, doors were left unlocked and the norm was for us children to play outside all day, climbing trees and all that jazz, happy days.

First Day At School
The only school in Haverhill was The Cangle. The new secondary modern, now known as Castle Manor, had not yet been finished. We arrived at school very bewildered being the first of the Londoners and feeling like aliens. I made a new friend in the short while I had been in Haverhill. His name was Michael Geagon, I didn't know at the time but his family was Irish, not that that meant anything. I was shown to my ...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.
