More about this scene

The parish church of St Martin is described as 'Anglo-Saxon origins, c1200, C13, C15, restored 1850' (Department of Heritage List). The former school, now the village hall, is dated 1846. Jean Lovelock (née Dennis), who lived behind the playground, was at the school in the late 1930s. She remembers the two classrooms with old paraffin lamps and tortoise stoves which 'used to get red hot so we burned in the front and shivered in the back'.

No 10
My name's David Meacham - When I was very small I used to live in the cottage on the right - Number 10 Bremhill.

The Beatles were just starting then - I remember sitting on the swing in the garden singing She Loves You Yes, Yes, ...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.
