More about this scene

The village's only junction is shown here. Although Arthur Conan Doyle set his novel 'The Hound of the Baskervilles' in Dartmoor, he got his inspiration here – the Baskerville family once owned Eardisley's castle and the story of the black hound is a local legend in nearby Kington. Presumably Doyle thought that the countryside here was far too peaceful a setting for his story!

The Boys' Home was the big house immediately behind the pub sign on Frith's postcard of 'The Tram'. I believe that Charlie spent a very happy childhood in Eardisley.

Ernie Crump
My uncle, Ernie Crump, grew up in Eardisley. He was orphanned in 1901 aged 5 and sent from London, to be brought up by a lady he referred to as 'Auntie'. Presumably he attended a local school, the 1911 Census records him as a 'page' in a big house in Tintagel, Cornwall.

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.
