More about this scene

We are west of Addlestone. Here the A320 Guildford Road meets the A319 Chobham Road and the B3121, Murray Road, from Addlestone at what is now a large roundabout. The Otter pub, a 1930s Surrey vernacular- style road-house, has now been transformed into a farmyard complex: the upper floor of the main block has been white clap-boarded and given a tiled lean-to veranda, while extensions to the left read like farm buildings and culminate in a fake oast house - picturesque and fun.

Meath School 1968 Ish ?
I was sent here,after frequent bouts of Asthma. My memories are mostly favourable. We used to make huts in the woods and I predictably, made the village pub. I achieved a swimming medal , got thrown out of the Cubs,for playing football with my woggle and remember being held up by my "Sideburns" for doing so. I also had to go to the parent school, Pilgrims at half term, as I couldn't go home and also being the ...see more

My Meath School Memories
I was a 9 year old boarder at the Meath School for a year in 1981/1982. In those days the school was a state specialist convalescence school for respiratory diseases. I remember my time in Ottershaw fondly. Each week we'd all walk in a group to the nice sweet shop in the village so that we could spend our I think 30p pocket money. The shop attendant was so patient with each of us as we uh'med and ah'ed over ...see more

My Ottershaw Days
My first memory of Ottershaw was the big freeze in the early 50's when, with a friend's help, I built a snow wall across Bousley Rise near to the top of the hill just before our house "Lintons". My father James Daborn [Jim] was not best pleased at having to dig a way through on getting back from work. My mother [Marjorie Daborn] was a teacher at the primary school, then on the crossroads of Brox Road, Slade Road ...see more

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
