More about this scene

That Worthing has a milder climate than its neighbours is shown by the large quantities of fruit and vegetables which it sends to Covent Garden. The sands are smooth and hard, and their condition during the summer months has been graphically described as one long mile of nursery. There are many people who prefer this watering-place to Brighton, on the grounds that it is quieter and far more economical to live in.

Mr Eric Nott The Cissbury Hotel Findon

My wonderful gentle father Eric Nott was the proprietor of the Cissbury Hotel , I wonder if anyone has special memories of him at Findon and Broadwater ? I remember people saying he had friends in a family that sold fresh flowers at a roundabout in the area ? .

Dean Prior
My grandparents lived in a house called Dean Prior from the 1940's through to the late fifties I believe and although I am too young to recall the house I would love to know if there is anyone out there who may have knowledge of the house either directly or indirectly and what it might look like today if it is still standing. I now live in the west coast if Canada but I would love to find out if the lovely old house still ...see more

Childhood Memories Of The 1950's
My Grandparents moved to Worthing in June 1910. They first rented a property called Sunnyside (No 11) in Ladydell Road whilst waiting for the Church Walk houses to be completed. Then they moved into 23 Church Walk and named the house Armadale - you can still make out this name on the gate post although the name has since fallen into disuse and is almost obliterated by paint. They named the house ...see more

Stayed At The Beach Hotel
I very much enjoyed a short holiday at The Beach Hotel on Worthing seafront in 1976, it was very grand back then, marvellous food and excellent service and a short walk from the wonderful Roberts Wine Lodge and the pier. Sadly this hotel has now been demolished and replaced with a Premier Inn

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.
