More about this scene

Jireh Court has been a particularly successful development, primarily because of its location, just a five-minute walk to either the bus or railway station, yet only five minutes from the Broadway for shopping. The buildings replaced a large Victorian house. The sloping site was successfully incorporated into the design of the blocks of flats, allowing for garages to be unobtrusively accessible. Not every residential unit would have a garage, hence the need for designated parking spaces as well.

Janet Ware Gift Shop In High Street 1950
I was 10 years old when my parents, Mr & Mrs Arthur Easton owned the gift shop called Janet Ware in the High St. Arthur & Ruby Easton, me, my brother John, 3 yrs, & my sister Rosemary, lived in the flat above the shop.

Scracebridge School
I went to Scracebridge in 1957 as part of the "Grammar Stream" waiting for Haywards Heath Grammar School to be completed. The"Grammar Grubs", as were were affectionately known, received a pretty hostile reception, and we were instantly recognizable by our brand new school uniforms, and we were only pupils in the school required to wear it. I remember it as being 2 years of sustained bullying by the locals, ...see more

Baldock Family At Brook House
I've always heard stories of my granny, Margaret Baldock, growing up in Haywards Heath. Her father, Arthur Baldock, was the gardener at Brook House as well as the village photographer in the 1890's - early 1900's. I've been searching for some details about this - any thoughts? This looks like such beautiful countryside; I would love to visit one day and have some first hand memories of the place!

I was later adopted, but my birth mother was called Evelyn Mary Burlong who came from Lindfield and worked in the Cinema in Haywards Heath in her teens. She married a James William Storey (Jock) from Gateshead who was ...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.
