More about this scene
In the inter-war years Frinton was known for its famous 'summer season' residents, who came for the golf club and the lawn tennis tournament. Gracie Fields once lived in Connaught Avenue in a house called 'Tinkerbell'.This view is little changed today, although the Avenue is no longer almost devoid of traffic.

For many years now, we've been inviting visitors to our website to add their own memories to share their experiences of life as it was, prompted by the photographs in our archive. Here are some from Frinton-On-Sea
Sparked a Memory for you?
If this has sparked a memory, why not share it here?
It was 1952 or '53. I was one of a few young boys boarded at Hawthorns in those Post-War days. I was sequestered there while my parents toured the United States for a year. I didn't remember them when they returned. My grandmother taught at Hawthorns in those days, which is probably how I ended up there after some horrible experiences in London schools. Her name was Francis B. Ball ...see more
not so much a memory but query? we had family living at glamis (lodge?) around 1900 is the house still there??
I used to be a boarder at the best school at Hawthorn School for girls in Second ave have great memories of my time there was sad when we had to leave and move to bishop stortford does anyone else remember the School
My great great grandmother, Eliza Hone, ran a Drapers Shop in Station Rd (later Connaught Avenue), after she was widowed from the late 1800's and she was included on 1901 & 1911Census's. My grandmother, Edith Victoria Adelaide Howe, was born there in 1897. I don't have any photos and only found out what I know from using Ancestry sites. I don't know what brought her to Frinton or when she left. Does anyone have any info please? Diane
