More about this scene

Seaton is situated on Rutland's south- eastern edge, about half a mile from its border with Northamptonshire, overlooking the Welland Valley. It is the 12th- and 13th-century work which raises All Hallows' above the ordinary, but the restoration of 1874 by the uninspired Cambridge architect W M Fawcett did little to enhance the interior. The east window of 1899 by Heaton, Butler & Bayne is worthy of note. They rank among the great stained glass makers and designers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including Kempe & Co, Morris & Co, and a particular favourite of mine, the Arts and Crafts designer Louis Davis. Externally, the 13th-century tower and broach spire are of extremely high quality.

A Fantastic Childhood
I was born in Seaton next to the Geoge and Dragon in 1949. I still live in the village, in a house we moved into in 1952. Seaton gave me a great childhood. In the 50's it was very much an agricultural village with 7 working farms. I began working on one of them at the age of 8yrs and when leaving school at the age of 14 I was employed by one of the village farmers. My memories of driving ...see more

Seaton Station
As a youngster living in Great Easton along the Welland valley, my school holidays in the early 1960s were largely spent at Seaton Junction station in Rutland. My friend Colin and I would cycle there with a bottle of orange squash and a bag of sandwiches and spend our days watching the trains on the Rugby to Peterborough line and also the Kettering to Nottingham trains over the viaduct nearby. We ...see more

Seaton In The 1950s And 60s
I lived in Seaton from the very early 1950s to the very early 1970s. My happy memories are: going down to the River Welland in Harringworth and fishing, going down to Seaton railway station and watching the trains go through. Seaton station in the 1950s and 1960s was a very important station, with trains running from Peterborough to Rugby, and single line tracks running to Uppingham and ...see more

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.
