More about this scene

The Village Hall at Hunsdon was originally the school until the building of the new school in 1924 at a cost of £4000. Now it is a meeting place for people of all ages from the youngest toddler to the most venerated member of the Over Sixties Club. When Hunsdon won the Hertfordshire Best Kept Village competition in 1960, the winner's sign was erected in the garden of the house next door. Now a quiet, peace-loving village, life is a far cry from 1690, when Moses Dunkley stole a shirt worth 6d and stocking worth 2d here. He was convicted and was 'whipped until his back was bloody' in Angel Inn Yard, Hertford.

Memories Of Peggy Pinner
My parents, Peggy and Stan Pinner, moved to Hunsdon from Leyton in 1957. Stan's family was from Wyddial and Aspenden, so Hunsdon was a good fit for them. A small estate was being erected on Wicklands Road and they bought number 3. Our next door neighbours were  the Duddys, other neighbours were the Porters, the Joyces, the Fergusons, the Richardsons and the Normans. The local vicar was Mr Pumphrey. The ...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.
