More about this scene

Lady Margaret Hawkins, after whom the school is named, was the wife of Sir John Hawkins, one of the commanders fighting against the Spanish Armada in 1588. She bequeathed £800 'to keep a free school in Kington … for the instructing and teaching of youths and children in literature and good education'.

Excitement Tinged With Fears
i started at lady hawkins when it first opened in 1962, every thing smelt new and looked bright and shiny. it was like going into a huge new adventure with apprehension and butterflies in my tummy. i soon settled in and made some really good friends. i spent three happy years there and left in 1965. although i left kington in the late 1970,s i still return for regular visits and bump into many old school friends. kington and lady hawkins will always hold special memories for me.

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.
