More about this scene

The crew of a sailing dinghy are apprehensively watched by the relaxing occupants of a punt as it manoeuvres past in a steady breeze. The singlet-clad male and his companion appear to be listening to a cumbersome battery-powered radio of the period. The canvas covering suspended over metal hoops not only protected boating enthusiasts from inclement weather, but also allowed them to sleep on board.

The reason I am interested is that Mr Jewson bought the first MG car in 1923 and as ...see more

Wartime At Laleham Abbey School Of The Holy Child
I think I was about 4 when I went to the convent school in 1940. We lived in Southampton and the bombing was dangerous. I remember the picnics on the river, the nuns tucking their habits up to milk the cows and give us a ride on the pony. When there was a raid we slept in the crypt and pretended to be ghosts. We were well cared for and much loved..when there was a chicken pox ...see more

The School Of The Holy Child, Laleham Abbey
heads the label in a dictionary of music that I received as a prize in Upper IA. No date. It must have been 1955. My name was/is Margaret Morley. I joined the school on my return from Malaya in 1951, followed by my sister Tania the following year. Names I remember: Gillian Yarham (thanks to another post; a dark-haired girl with black eyes), and my classmates: Rhona Gracie, Elizabeth ...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.
