More about this scene

Rusthall is now little more than a Tunbridge Wells suburb. Rusthall Common is an extensive open waste studded with massive singularly shaped rocks. Toad Rock, perched precariously above the cottages below, is a remarkable logan-like cluster.

Lived There Also, 1966, 1967
Our house was at the end of the private cul-de-sac. "Rustwick".. Lived there until we moved to Brisbane, Australia, in 1967. I well recall climbing the Rocks, and the Penny Candy Store?.. I recall the sherbet filled wafers "Flying Saucers", ... always a treat! Great memories, a wonderful place to grow up - safe, yet great for exploring! Greg, Long Island, New York

Does Anyone Remember Us?
I was 10 years old when we lived in Rusthall and all I remember is Lynda at the corner shop where we would pinch penny sweets - sorry! The huge rocks with toad rock, he was amazing and the council estate right behind the lovely ones in your photo - that's where I had most fun. I'm 36 now and living in Manchester and this is where I belong! I wonder if anyone from there remembers my family - here goes...Paul and Linda had Lisa and Catherine and twin baby boys Thomas and James.

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.
