More about this scene

A mountain track from Longtown was known as 'rhiw cwrw' because it brought beer (cwrw) to the monks. Today's visitors can repair to the bar in the basement of the hotel, which occupies part of the west range of the abbey. Its roof probably dates from the late 18th century, but the steeper pitch of an earlier medieval roof can be seen in the tower wall behind it.

Happy Times
I went to live in Llanthony village around 1970 with my husband who was brought up at The Daren Farm, and our children Lynda and Andrew. We lived in The Cornmill which is directly opposite the old post office, it was called Mill Cottage then and Met and Gertrude (Rachel) lived there. She always amused me when she answered the phone because she had a posh 'phone voice', she was a real character. Also in the village - ...see more

Mill Cottage And The Harrisons
The Llanthony Post Office was originally the Mill Cottage and my great great great grandparents George and Margaret Harrison lived there. Just across the track from there was the Mill which was three storeys high, and George was the Miller of Llanthony. They lived there, as recorded in the cenus's of 1841 through to 1861, and from then on their daughter Margaret lived there with her husband Daniel Nichols, who was a carpenter.

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.
