More about this scene

This placid village hangs at the skirts of Bodmin moor, and is noted for its antiquities. Close by are the Trevethy Stones - a tipsy cromlech supported by six mighty uprights - and a celebrated Cornish cross and holy well, whose trickling waters were said to have special powers to cure madness.

I Lived Next Door
My family lived in the cottage next to the well during the Second World War and for a short time after. I have many very happy memories, including falling asleep on the stone monument on the moors, sitting on the stone wall of the well waiting for my father to come home, going to school where Mr Churchill was the teacher, the winter of 1947. Maybe someone will remember when I was almost drowned in the 'tin ...see more

St Cleer Church
This scene has changed little, except for the addition of carpeted areas and pews that look far more comfortable and inviting! I feel sure that every person who has walked through the doors of this church has been touched by what they have seen and the wonderful people they have met here. Todays community has added many other fine features like their fabulous millenium tapestry and the tea bar!!! I have loved ...see more

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
