More about this scene

Llanarth was an important medieval settlement, and the church contains a pre-Norman inscribed stone. The post office on the left probably sold most basic needs, including engine oil, while the Mother's Pride van in the distance provided a home delivery service. Car drivers using the shop, post box or phone (on the left) must have caused an obstruction on this narrow part of the main road, and since this photograph was taken, the house on the right was demolished to widen it.

The main street is filled with more people than I knew lived in our village. Everyone is happy and waving to vehciles as they pass through. We all wait with anticipation, 20-30 motor bikes come through with police on them and they wave at us. Finally the Welsh weather has had enough of waiting and decides to try to dampen our excitement with drizzle - are we to be the first village to put the famous flame ...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.
