More about this scene

South of Farnham, on the greensand heathland, there are two famous and immensely popular lakes, Frensham Great Pond and Frensham Little Pond. The former was originally enlarged around 1200 to provide fish for the Bishop of Winchester's palace in Farnham. The Little Pond was dug in 1246, also as a 'stew' or fish pond for the Bishop. Nowadays the ponds are owned by the National Trust, along with Frensham Common with its pine woods and heaths, and they are still as much a major tourist attraction as they were in the 1960s.

The little German that I remember was through working with these lovely children, playing 'foosbal' and so on . I got to cook lovely meals for them . A local ...see more

Tancreds Ford
This is actually called Tancreds Ford and was on the smuggling trail from the south coast over to Bagshot Heath where booty was divided up and moved on into London.

My Month At Sheephatch School Camp
On 4th March 1946, about fifty children from Dury Falls School, Hornchurch, were taken by coach to Sheephatch School camp. We slept in double bunks in dormitories; did lessons during the day and went for many walks. In the evenings we learned dancing, such as the Gay Gordons; saw films, and even put on a concert. Every evening we had a hot shower in the ablution block. The dormitories held ...see more

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.
