More about this scene

Gifted by the Earl of Plymouth in 1947, the castle and its gardens were not only to become the centrepiece of the museum, but also an integral component. Used to exhibit the daily life of the Welsh gentry, they were, for the first three years of the museum's life, its very fine but sole attraction – the first reconstructed building in the grounds was not completed until 1951.

Add a memory of this photo

Parc Y Felin Farm, St Fagans
My grandparents and great-uncle and aunt lived and worked at Parc-y-Felin farm in the 1930s. My mother and her sister went St Fagans school. Although the farm was demolished in the early 1960s the farm cottage still survives where my great-uncle used to live. It was a milk producing farm, the dairy was at the rear of the farm which I think was powered by a water wheel, the water was supplied by the River Ely by a water channel which my mother called the "race".

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.
