More about this scene

Princes Street fares somewhat better, although the creeper-clad Georgian house beyond the shop on the right was rebuilt in 1950s Neo-Georgian. Whitby and Sons' shopfront has gone, as have most of the others in this view. Amid the stone and render, the pedimented corner building on the left is in brick, and was erected in 1885. At the junction with the High Street in the distance there is now a Millennium clock tower in Ham stone.

Book Shop
My mothers family moved to Yeovil in about 1926 from Beaminster in Dorset. My grandfather heard there was a job going for a gardener, he got the job so the family moved to a tide cottage in Ilchester Road. They had 5 childen then, my mum was born in 1930. One of them, my Auntie worked for Whitby Book Store. In the photo it is the shop on the right. She stayed there until war came in 1939, then left to work for Westlands. It was there she met her husband.

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.
