More about this scene

The Star Inn is now more of a brasserie than a pub, and the adjacent post office has been replaced by a television and video shop. Lying to the west of Andover, Weyhill is best known for its fair - the largest in England - which, during much of the 18th century, lasted for a whole week. Until the Second World War, sheep and horses were traded.

Dunnings

There was a junction where the roundabout is now. Dunnings yard was opposite. Where the new houses/fairground is now and it had loads of big sheds and barns. They used to make coffins there and they would all be standing up outside like soldiers when we first lived here. There was always a building crane up there too. Love the pictures.

Many Years Ago!
I served as an altar boy in this church in the late 1930's. Even at that time not many locals attended the services. My family an I lived in The Bell. I never could get my sister to come to church with me!

Boy Scouts
I was in the Wolf Cubs (as they were known at that time) and we used to meet in a room above the old stables at Weyhill. I was there from about 1956. Loved every minute of it. Then went up to the Boy Scouts at the age of 11 in 1959. The Scout Group was known as the "6th Andover, Penton and District" I had two elder brothers in the same group, Roy and Peter. If you remember any of us then please get in touch.

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
