    More about this scene

    Middle Beach (foreground) at Studland, is overlooked by the 1943-built Fort Henry on Redend Point (right-hand clifftop), which Canadian Engineers named for their home base in Ontario. The largest observation post in England, it was used by Allied generals who watched the live-firing rehearsals for the D-Day landings, and were joined by King George VI on 18 April 1944. Beside it is a gun emplacement (top right) dating from 1940 when the beach was defended against potential German invaders. Old Harry Rocks (far left) are to the south-east.

    Does The Old Studland Cottage Still Exist, If So Where Exactly Is It?
    I would love to know if this cottage still exists and if it does, exactly where it is. I have a watercolour of it from 1950s (or earlier), showing this exact view. I also have several old family photos of it from the 1950s and 60s. I suspect it is, or was, situated in Watery Lane and I vaguely remember it from all those years ago, passing it on the way to the ...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.
