The Firm [where Peggy West lived for most of her life] was once two small cottages built on a piece of land
called Austin's Platt. The ground around them was built on to form workshops for
the firm of West & Collier, started in 1869 and closed during World War II.
[ The wood and brick buildings in this picture are the workshops. Much more information about West & Collier can be found
under "A History of Frieth" on the menu bar above and in
Valerie Springett's book "The Firm - Peggy's Memories Revealed"
Many more pictures of The Firm and its workers can be found
in "Frieth a Chiltern Village".
Both of these books are available through the Frieth Village
Society. See the Contact page ]
