Photo Gifts
Francis Frith has all kinds of photo gifts from photos to books. They even have a collection of historical maps.
They can even turn your 12 favourite photos into a calendar.
Most photos can be either black and white or sepia.
Francis Frith was a Victorian photographer (1822 to 1898) he was a pioneer and wanted to create a record of all the places he visited. Thank goodness he did! Many places have been lost forever. The archive has over 100,000 historical photos!
I will be going through their archive to find the best cottage photos for you and adding to this page as I can.
I have also added them to many of the pages in ECL, just click on the photo you want to see and you will go to Francis Frith's website from there you can purchase it if you like.
These photos are special and a record of England's last century. I simply can not take these photos, unless I have a time machine of course!
Why not see if your town is in the collection and take a trip down memory lane.
Just click on any of the photos above and browse their website. They have thousands of old photos!
