More about this scene

The village takes it name from Smallfield Place, an estate given to John de Burstow in the reign of Edward III for services rendered during the French wars. A lawyer, Edward Bysshe, enlarged the house in the 17th century, and admitted that the money came from 'fees of foolish clients'. Since this photograph was taken, the first-floor frontage of the Plough public house has been extended.

Canadian Hospital
My husband and I moved to Smallfield nearly two years ago. The noise on Redehall Road is quite a change from the peace and quiet of Cumbria! I am presently writing a book about Veteran's Memoirs' of the Italy Campaign (the Forgotton Campaign) 1943-46 and as Canadians entered the War with us in 1939, several have now contacted me and are telling me about the Canadian Hospital in Smallfield.

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?

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.
