This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

I cannot remember Fowey Radio at St Blazey but can remember the radio shop in Fore Street and that was run by Mr Osborne. He also had a workshop off The Lawn where we used to take our accumulators to be charged as most radios in war time were battery driven. I can remember Rosemary Nutt and her brother Peter at the Grammar School at Fowey and can still picture Fowey Radio almost opposite the "Town Hall" where we held our annual school plays.
My father Charlie Nutt and his colleagues ran The Fowey Radio company which gradually set up small branches in several Cornish towns, one of these was St. Blazey. I think problems with staffing etc arose as a result of the Second World War after 1939 and eventually only two Fowey Radio shops remained - one at Fowey, where I lived until I was 18, and the other at Truro.
