More about this scene

This picture was probably taken soon after the end of the Second World War, judging by the Food Office sign on the right of the picture. The Bell and Crown inn is now called the Cloisters; Gibbs Mew was the main Salisbury brewery, now sadly no longer with us. The Wessex motors garage, whose signs are displayed on the facing wall, has gone, and has been replaced by an office block.

Home For Girls And Young Women In Churchfields Road
During the late 1960s I lived in Mill Road just down from the railway station. Our house was opposite Churchfields Road. Some way up this road on the left hand side was some kind of institution where teenage girls and young women lived. This was close to Grosvenor House, I believe. Every Sunday, a procession of these female residents would walk in pairs presumably to church. I was ...see more

Medieval Banquets At The Bay Tree
In the early seventies, I was a student at Sarum St Michael College of Education in the Cathedral Close. The weekends were incredibly boring, with nothing to do and nowhere to have fun. Until, a friend asked me if I would like to work as a "Serving Wench",at Medieval Banquets hosted at the Bay Tree Restaurant in Salisbury.

Bishop Wordsworth's School In The 1960s
I attended Bishop Wordsworth's School between 1964 and 1967 arriving when I was 14. I had previously gone to a very prestigious grammar school in north London which in fact was awful. Discipline was non-existent, bullying rife and the standard of teaching, with few exceptions, abysmal. BWS was much, much better. The headmaster at Bishop's was Mr Blackledge, a man not to be messed with. ...see more

Gibbs Mew Brewery
I worked as a labourer at Gibbs Mew Brewery between November 1967 and April '68. It was a stop-gap job as I didn't know what I wanted to do with my life at the time. The work was boring and the days dragged but it was a job and I was grateful for it at the time. My particular job was in the warehouse where I stood at the end of a conveyor belt on the ground floor stacking cases of full beer bottles onto ...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.
