Thursday Market Bus Trips from Bradwall
In this picture one can see the town hall in the background and next to it now is Price City (2008), prior to that the Co-op. When I was a child this building used to be the Hungerford Cafe. I used to look forward to getting on the market bus at lunchtime with my mother and going to the Cafe for... [more]

I remember Florrie's chip shop, the chips were 6d a bag and were great. The sweet shop next door was called Timmins, and like you said, Mrs Farnsworth's shop was across the road where the betting shop is now. I used to walk through there to go to church school which is now St Mary's church hall.

Florries Chip Shop, The Square, Sandbach
Florries Chip Shop - what memories - greasy, white chips, but they were the best! Florrie was always dressed in black - like a Victorian (which she probably was). The shop was situated on the corner of the alley between the square and the back of the Black Bear pub. Next door (probably where the Italian restaurant is now - 2008)... [more]

Harmel House, High Street, Haslington. and Castleigh House
I am researching my Sims-Hilditch family tree. Does anyone remember Edwin Sims Hilditch at Castleigh, Haslington around 1931? And at Harmel House, High Street, Haslington around 1946? Are they on the Frith photos?
Edwin's and Ada's (nee Knott) son Tom Sims Hilditch's name appears on the Haslington war memorial. I believe his boat was torpedoed in 1941 - can anyone... [more]

Haslington village Post Office
My Grandparents ran the post office in Haslington for many years (not sure how many exactly). Their names were Harry and Connie Jones, they built the business up from nothing and delivered newspapers, ran the post office and made their own ice cream which my mum always said people came from miles to buy. They were always up at 5 o'clock... [more]

Hi, I was born and raised in Crewe until I was 18 when I joined the WRAF.
My school was Brierely St. Secondary Modern School and my maiden name was Chesworth. I have many fond memories of my time there and would love to hear from anyone that was a school mate of mine from 1953-57. Now I am retired in... [more]

Extracts From Elworth & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Elworth, inspired by Frith photos.
Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
The Carrs are part of the meadow land along the River Bollin that once provided pasture land for Wilmslow`s residents. Now the scene of many a weekend football match, in the late 19th century it was where Wilmslow`s washing was hung out to dry. The Bollin once powered a silk mill here, whose buildings later became a laundry that boasted that it returned everything except the dirt.

Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
For a number of years during the Second World War, `Romany`, the Rev George Bramwell Evens, was a great favourite on Children`s Hour with his nature talks, when he was often accompanied by his dog Raq. Evens` mother was a gypsy, and he and his wife restored this traditional caravan in the 1920s. After he died in 1943, Mrs Evens gave the van to Wilmslow, and Raq, who died in 1947, is buried beside it.

Wilmslow and Alderley Edge Photographic Memories
Even in the 1960s the photographer must have risen very early to take this picture; although the cars were not yet controlled by lights, even then there was usually much heavier traffic on the main road into Manchester. The Bluebell Garage is still on the corner, although it now concentrates on selling expensive cars rather than petrol.
