More about this scene

Littlehampton had been an important port in the Middle Ages and even a Tudor royal shipyard, but it declined until reviving with the canalisation of the Arun in 1723; it was most successful during Victorian times. The old Beach Hotel seen here gave visitors good views south across The Green to the Promenade and the coastal shipping coming in and out of the harbour to the west.

Sunday School Outing
I remember going to Littlehampton for a days outing with the Sunday school in teh late 1950's. I remember there were rides and also in particular a bingo place where I won 6 water glasses with coloured frosting around the edges. Now I wonder if it was Butlins. I didn't know Butlins had a camp there?

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.
