More about this scene

This view looks from Godstone Road to the Plaistow Street-Newchapel Road junction. The Esso petrol pumps have gone, and the huts and the cottage on the right have now been replaced by a Total garage (the chimneys beyond belong to Ormuz Cottages, dated 1894). The mock- Tudor shopping parade is of about 1900, and The Mart, the third shop from the left, is still The Mart, a newsagent, tobacconist and confectioner. This view shows rather well the somewhat disjointed architecture of the village.

The Cabin Shop. Linfield
I too remember The Cabin. It was run in my time by Mr and Mrs Steer. My brother Terry Hancock used to do a Sunday paper round for them. When he fancied a lay in he would ask me to do it for him. I used to ride a butchers bike with the papers in and get half a crown for riding all around Lingfield!!. Margaret Farrer.

Lingfield Pond
We used to walk past the pond everyday on our way to Lingfield Primary School. This was about 40 - 45 yrs ago now. One memory I will always have in when the pond was frozen over and my brother and his friends decided they would try their talents out at ice skating. We were all surrounded watching these boys and, I have to admit, to feeling really frightened when the ice broke and I watched with utter terror as ...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.
