More about this scene

This Neolithic long barrow was built around 2,500 BC, and the remains of 28 human skeletons were found when the site was excavated in 1854. A mile north of Uley there is another long barrow, known as Hetty Pegler's Tump. The story goes that in the 17th century the land on which this ancient monument stood belonged to a woman named Hetty Pegler, who enjoyed nothing more than to sit on the pagan grave and sing.

Raglan Way
I remember the houses being built in Raglan Way, during the 1950s. With some friends I recall that we walked along the soil pipes, which had been laid at the bottom of trenches, probably that morning. We obviously broke the cement joints, as when we looked into the trenches the following day, "blue" coloured water was everywhere! That was a bit naughty on our part and of course the drains had to be re-laid.

Uley, The Street
When I spent my holidays in Uley during the mid 1950s, open drains ran at the edge of the street, for dirty water (not sewage) draining from the houses adjoining the road! I recall the Post Office, Mr Phillp's grocery store (by the bus stop) and Bruton's Garage, at the junction with South Street. Ken Cook

My First Fish!
With a borrowed rod, I caught my first fish in Stouts Hill Pond. The fish took my hook quite deeply and after dis-gorging the hook, we assumed that the fish was dead and my friend Reg Thomas took the fish home to Dursley to feed it to the family cat! On arriving home, Reg discovered that the fish was still alive and while it swam around in a fish tank for a few days, it did eventually die. Sad. Ken Cook

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.
