Recently come to light photographs of: the Fredville Houses and the hamlet of Frogham
/
Recently I have been fortunate enough to have had access to the archive of the late Aubrey Sutton, a Nonington born man with an interest in local history whose father harvested the last crop to be grown on the site of Snowdown Colliery. The archive contains hundred of slides, photographs and news-paper cuttings concerning Nonington and extends back into the late 19th century. I hope to include many of the items from the archive into both new and existing articles on this site. Here are just some of the pictures from the archive:-
Phoenix Cottages, previously the old Red Lion. The elderly couple are Mr & Mrs Jarvis.
Frogham Street in the 1930′s
Frogham Farm [Broadsole Farm]
A water-colour of Frogham Cottage, artist and date of painting also at present unknown
The old Fredville House library.
Undated article regarding the sale of three rare books, probably just before the move to Little Fredville in 1926
An undated catalogue for the sale of furniture from Fredville. Again the sale probably took place just before the move to the new house.
The Cedar Hut, a garden feature that appears to have been located in the old Fredville mansion walled garden
A poem about Fredville Park by John Lott, a labourer who walked to Eythorne Baptist Chapel to worship before the Nonington chapel was built in 1910
Little Fredville in 1926
Mr Jesse Betts of Eastry, who helped fight the fire at Fredville in 1940
