More about this scene

Stanwell lies on the northern side of the Staines reservoirs, and is now under the flight path of Heathrow Airport. However, it still manages to retain much of its village atmosphere. Its church is at least 13th-century in origin, though the larger part is later medieval. One feature is the tomb of Lord Knyvett, the official who discovered Guy Fawkes at work in the cellar under the Houses of Parliament.

Happy Memories
My goodness, some of the articles brought back so many good memories. I lived at Riverside Place and went to Lord Knyvitts School around 1957. The milk that iced up in the morning at school and the newspaper I was required to tear up for toilet paper, who knows how the toilets didn’t block up especially in winter when the water in the bowl iced up. I married at St Mary’s church too. I left Stanwell for pastures new ...see more

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.
