Honeysuckle Snack Bar And Surrounds
The large house in the background to this photo was originally the village rectory and was bought by Pentland Hick, the owner and founder of the zoo, and it became his family home for several years, later to becomes offices for the zoo. The proceeds from the sale went towards building a new rectory near the war memorial.

Life As A Zoo Keeper
I worked as a zoo keeper at flamingo Land in the 60's and 70's and this photo brings back memories of some of the misguided practices of the era. Mixing bears from different back grounds was not a good idea, although all the bears where introduced as youngsters, as they matured conflicts occurred. Eventually the polar bears moved on to there own enclosure.

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
