More about this scene

We are still in Baskerville, looking in the opposite direction to photograph M13030, with Goose Bridge to the extreme left of the photograph. The pathway and river lead to Wyniard Mill (on the far left), which was a cloth mill in the late 16th to the early 17th century. A dye house and two corn mills were there by the mid 17th century. The mill was once owned by Malmesbury Abbey before the Dissolution.

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.
