More about this scene

The gateway on the right, facing the Eynsford Castle Inn, leads to the ruins of the Norman castle which was the property of William of Eynsford. In 1163 he became involved in a dispute with Archbishop Thomas Becket over the appointment of a local priest. Henry II supported William in his case, but after Becket's martyrdom at Canterbury, he was so filled with remorse that he left the castle and entered a monastery.

Eynsford Primary School
All of the Abbott family attended this little school and we would journey down each day in the old Bedford bus operated by Heaver coaches that were driven by John Heaver or his father. Our head teacher was Miss Capper and I remember her arriving at school on a little moped. Mrs Holness, Mrs Garwood , Miss Neat and Miss Richardson also taught at the school. When I was about nine years old I was given a task ...see more

Eynsford School
My brothers and I went to school here in the 1950s, taking the school bus (operated by Hevers' coaches) from Romney Street.  I have many memories of the school, which I will add sometime, but would also like  to hear of others.

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
