More about this scene

Wherwell is famous for its ruined priory, established by the Saxon Queen Elfreda, mother of Ethelred the Unready, possibly as an act of repentance following several dark deeds. It is a highly picturesque village, just a mile or two from the busy A303. However, it is easy to become lost in the winding lanes, and to suddenly come upon the village with its wealth of thatched cottages, fringed with great trees.

Andover Bus Station & School

I am getting nostalgic as I get older and would like info on 1950s & 1960s Andover and in particular the Bus station and the boys school which I think may not be there anymore and would welcome any info. Please send e-mail - Thanks

Sweet Shop Run...
this street is the scene of many a frantic cycle to the sweet shop (aka village shop) at the bottom of the hill, eager to hand over our week's pocket money to Mr Knight who ran the shop. This view is roughly from the pub on the corner (the red lion?), that was run by a landlord that strangely became rather irate when his triumph stag was pelted with mud balls from a strategically positioned hedge. happy days...

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.
