More about this scene

We are facing north, towards Horndon's school. The houses nearest us were once commercial premises—a hardware store and a tailor's. To the right of them lies Swan Meadow, once home to the village fair. This event survives as Horndon-on-the-Hill Feast & Fayre, which takes place at the end of June, to mark St Peter's Day.

Brownies In Horndon On The Hill

My nan, Coral Newton, started the Brownies group in Horndon on the Hill in 1963 or 1964; she still has her Brown Owl badge. I was hoping to find out if there are any photos or if anyone went to the Brownies as it was something so close to her heart.

Fynn From The Black Dog
I'm also related to Mr William Fynn ( of sorts!) who ran the Black Dog. He passed away in 1912 after an unsuccessful operation. His wife Rosanna born in Lancashire was of Scottish heritage. Grace was her niece whom she bought up when her sister died not long after childbirth. Grace's daughter Ellen born in 1893 was my great-grandmother. Ellen moved with her husband in the mid 1920s to Wwales ...see more

Living In Horndon On The Hill
My name is Lee Struthers. I lived in Horndon back in the 1960s with my parents and sister at Alwin on Hilcrets Road, we moved to New Zealand in 1968. I have just been back for a visit, July 2010, went to the Bell for lunch. What a great place Horndon is, loved the place, wish I could have spent more time there. I remember going to school there and going to Cubs & of course church.

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

Example of image retouching:

After

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.
