However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only.

All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.
