More about this scene

D H Lawrence liked living in Berkshire. The writer would regularly walk many miles in a day, often leaving home very early in the morning and not returning until late in the afternoon. He was able to combine his knowledge of the countryside with his skill as a writer, using prose and imagery to illustrate his great love for creation. You can almost imagine him walking along this country road outside the village.

Where Are "The Aisles"
Concerning the photo H335025 of a wood in the Hermitage area with the caption "The Aisles c1960", does anyone recognize the name "The Aisles" and where exactly it is (or was)? I would expect the name of the location to remain long after the trees had all been felled. I've lived in Hermitage for more than 40 years and never come across anywhere with that name: neither can I find that name on any modern or old ...see more

Mixed Memories
I was living in the house to the right in this photo (outbuildings just seen) when it must have been taken. Some good memories, some painful, but memories come flooding back...!

Living In The Hermitage Area
We lived at 101 Oare Common. Our family lived at the above address from 1937 until 1949. I started to attend Hermitage Primary School in 1938 and left there in 1948, during that time we had three headmasters, Mr Cudby, Mr Friend, and Mr Enever, two teachers that I remember were Miss Bushell and Miss Matthews. One Sunday morning during the Second World War we were woken by a very loud explosion, ...see more

A Visit To My Birthplace
Delighted to find this photo. I was born in Grimsbury Castle in 1946. I came to America at age three and know very little about the history of the Castle and surrounding area. I did visit the Castle in 1971. The appearance was much the same as it is in your 1955 photo. There were in fact adders close by even then. At the time I thought it would be lovely to see the inside of the structure. So I knocked ...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.
