More about this scene

The Union Jack can be seen in this picture, fluttering in the breeze above the pub. This is true Warsash - the genuine old village. Not much of the old crab and lobster community survives, but what remains is quite quaint. A commemorative plaque here recalls that British and Allied Naval and Commando Units sailed from the Hamble river on the night of 5 June 1944 for the D-Day landings on Normandy.

Working In Warsash In The 1960s

The 'factory' turned out to be an old motorcycle workshop previously owned by a Vic Collins, a local celebraty at the time. Vic was a speedway star of the 1940s and 50s. My father decided to relocate his plastics and paint works ...see more

Watercolour Painting
I grew up in Warsash (Fleet End) in the 1950s and a friend of mine lived in one of the cottages shown. His aunt produced hand-painted watercolour postcards, one of which I possess. It was obviously painted from this photograph, as it shows in almost every respect an identical view. The only things different are the omission of the roof and chimney of the Royal Thames Yacht Club house and the telegraph pole on ...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.
