More about this scene

Board sailing was invented here: this was confirmed by a High Court ruling in 1982 stating that Peter Chilvers invented the sail board at Hayling in 1958 when, as a boy of ten, he used a sheet of plywood, a tent fly sheet, a pole and some curtain rings to sail up an island creek. The caravans and cars and the fish and chip premises and gift shops give the place a definite holiday feel.

A Summer Evening
It was 2nd June 1961. A magical summer evening. I was on holiday and had my bike. I rode to Langstone Harbour station and waited for the train. The little Stroudley loco came to a halt on it's way from Havant to Hayling, only one or two passengers got on. It puffed off and across the bridge. I then cycled off. When I came on holiday again the railway had gone, and the loco was displayed outside of a pub.

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.
