More about this scene

Standing in the shadow of a great chestnut tree and originally a posting and coaching house, The Royal Anchor Hotel (centre) dates from the time of Samuel Pepys, who found 'good, honest people' here. Lord Nelson had breakfast here, and a young Queen Victoria and her mother, the Duchess of Kent, stayed overnight. Note the sign for the West Sussex Gazette to the left of the hotel, and J W Brown the chemist's on the right, who sells 'local views and view post cards' - Frith's, perhaps.

Smorthwaite Chemist.
My uncle (PW Brooker) was manager of Smorthwaites chemists for many years in the mid 1900's. Mr Smorthwaite himself was a very old man... I remember meeting him once in the back of the shop where my aunt and others dispensed medicines. This photo suggests that originally the shop was on the corner of the Square( later occupied by Moss Brothers) and Haslemere road, whereas I knew it to be further back in the square directly opposite the Anchor tree.

Chiltley Place
My twin brother Colin and I were born at Chiltley Place on the 28th of July 1942 due to the bombing of Portsmouth. My father was serving in the Royal Navy on the hospital ship HMS Liverpool in the far east when we were born. My parents and brothers last visited Chiltley place in the late 1950's. Recently I received a copy of Chiltley Place and Goldenfields as a gift. Colin now lives in Cornwall with his family, I now live in the United States. Best wishes, Barry.

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.
