More about this scene

On the left side of Ceylon House is the post office and to the right the grocer's and provision's shop, both run by William Lowrey. Today both businesses are in the right half of the building. The Victorian terraces and semi-detached houses are the same today. At the corner of Bethel Drive is the beach-flint Sailor's and Fisherman's Bethel (left), still functioning as a place of worship.

Denes Holiday Camp Memories
Have good childhood memories of two weeks camping in July/August between 1977 to 1981 with my grandparents and brother camping at Denes Holiday Camp. Looked forward to going every year and remember two girls I saw each year (Debbie and Debra) who are part of my memories. Diane

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.
