More about this scene

This is another hospital recently demolished; it has been replaced by 95 homes. It was built in 1900 as a workhouse for the Hursley District Council at the northern end of Hursley Road. Transferred to Chandler's Ford, it became a sanatorium and later a psychiatric unit for teenagers, which has now moved to Winchester. A book has been published giving the story of Leigh House.

An extract from Around Eastleigh including Chandler's Ford, Bishopstoke and Botley Living Memories.

Scarlet Fever
I had scarlel fever and was sent the Isolation Hospital as it was then called . I had no idea where I was and hated it there so much so I didn't eat.I was only about 4 or 5 & one night I had diarroea & fouled my bed.

I remember to this day the apple pie at lunch time on a Sunday, always apple ...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.
