This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Hi, I was an apprentice with Major Powell in the 50s, lremember going to the Blue Boar a few times, I only have a faint memory of the landlady mai ly that sbe was a tall dark haired lady, I lived 11 Lottage Rd with Mrs Plant whoose daughter Sheelagh now lives in Australia. I try to visit Aldbourne every year my wife comes From Baydon. I have fond memories of Aldbourne I was 16 when I arrived from Jersey Channel islands.
My grandmother owned the Blue Boar Inn. Her name was Annie Dady. I believe she had the pub before the war and up until about 1960. Next door was Major Powell's racing stable and as a young lad I met Frankie Durr when he had breakfast at the Blue Boar. I can still remember the barn at the back and the old wash room. I am sixty-five now and live in Devon, please if any one remembers my grandmother please write.
