More about this scene

Although the busy A24 now thunders past the old forge at the foot of Byttom Hill, the building is still clearly recognisable, although now expanded into a chic Italian restaurant named Frascati, and with a bus stop immediately outside what was then Highway Cottage. The poor horse pulling the cart laden with heavy sacks faced a considerable task in negotiating the steep climb up to the William the Fourth pub behind the forge, which is also operating today.

St Nicholas (Later Box Hill) School & Remembering The Misses Garrard

I attended St Nicholas school (later Box Hill School) between approx 1957 and 1962. The school was co-educational and catered to children aged from about age 4 to 18. My brother was 4 and I was 7 when we started at the school. My father was at Edinburgh University medical school specialising in thoracic medicine and my mother studying medicine in london so we were sent off to boarding school. I remember ...see more

Box Hill School
I'm sure my mother has pictures of this place - didn't it used to be called Fredley House? My grandmother worked there in service, probably about 1930-ish. If anyone could shed any light on the subject I would be most grateful.

St Nicholas School, Mickleham
I remember Miss L Garrard, the Head Mistress, Miss T Garrard her sister, and their adopted son Malcom Daverney (?). He had an open top MG sports car, and one day I had to go to the Dentist in Dorking for emergency treatment and I got taken by him in the MG. I was quite a celebrity for that. There are names that spring to mind: Catherine Collard, Jean and Pauline Hassell, Danny and Rusty Howell, whose ...see more

Sweeping Staircase
I also have memories of St Nicholas, and was a pupil at the school from 1949 aged four, till 1952. Miss Garrard was the headmistress, and I seem to remember she was very kind. I had a kindergarten teacher who was absolutely horrible, very spiteful. I can't remember her name and I wonder if anyone else does. I do remember watching with another pupil, from the top of the staircase, her being taken to hospital ...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.
