More about this scene

Another of Sussex's seaside villages, Rustington boasts a few flint-walled cottages and a medieval church. The north face of the sturdy church tower bears an old clock, though it has been here for less than one hundred years. It originally belonged to Great Bedwyn church in Wiltshire before the churchwardens consigned it to a scrap heap. Fortunately, it was rescued and eventually moved to Rustington.

School Journey
As a sickly child, I missed much of my early schooling and eventually attended schools for the physically handicapped. My senior school was the Venetian School for boys in Camberwell, south London. We went on School Journeys during my attendance there; two of them were to Rustington Lido.

The Masters Family
1948 was the year I was born. Apparently I was quite privileged compared to the rest of my siblings as I was the only one born in Zachary Merton. There were nine of us and most were born at home including twins, which my mother, Dorathy Mable delivered one by herself before the midwife could arrive just in time to deliver the second twin!. My father, Geoff Masters, was in the RAF and we all lived in a ...see more

Heasmans Ltd 4 Broadmark Parade
Following the death of my mother recently, I have been clearing her home and found a kitbag of my father, Douglas Bellchambers, from his wartime Royal Navy days, full of a range of keepsakes. One of these was an unopened parcel addressed to him in Braintree, Essex from Heasmans Ltd, 4, Broadmark Parade, Rustington, Sussex, which must have been sent between 1945 and 1952, the post mark is ...see more

At School In Rustington
I went to West Preston Manor school in 1959, first as a boarder and then as a day girl. It was a fine old manor house where the dormitories were and on the ground floor, the classrooms. In the basement was the dining room and the kitchen run by Alice. There was a country lane on the right of the main entrance, Pigeonhouse Lane which was very dark and overgrown with large trees. I lived in Park ...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.
