More about this scene

The view is of Sandbanks Ferry from Shell Bay looking towards Poole's sandy peninsula. The chain ferry began in 1926, saving 15 miles on the journey to Swanage. This is the new diesel vessel which had just replaced steam; it has now been superseded by a larger 'floating bridge'.

I also have several old family photos of it from the 1950s and 60s. I suspect it is, or was, situated in Watery Lane and I vaguely remember it from all those years ago, passing it on the way to the ...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.
