Lancashire memories
In 1960 or possibly 1961 I went to Highcliffe with my pal for a holiday. We rode there on our motorcycles from High Wycombe in Bucks.
We had a chalet on the beach with my parents but lied it was ours alone. It seemed more cool at the time. During the week we were lucky enough to meet two lovely... [more]

A nice picture of the Whire Bear, but not quite reality - where is the mill behind it and Stansfield's plumbers next door?

A visit with a Great Aunt and Uncle
In 1970 my Grandparents (Mr & Mrs Harold Hall of Winnipeg, Canada) and I spent some time with my Grandmother's sister, Ethel Mills and her husband John.
We had a family reunion and dinner in a restaurant. About 20 relations attended. I did not know anyone. Would any one remember that visit and would they like to make contact with... [more]

I have a host of memories of MPSP.
The earliest is from the 1950s when I used to play on the fountain -- seen in the foreground -- with my cousins (Towers) who would visit from Cleveleys.
It was also the first place where I saw a girl's breast. To the left was a 2 or 3 tiered diving... [more]

I can remember the only time I went in the pool at Marsden Park. I couldn't swim and was about 7 years old. For some reason prob the cold water my mum didn't want to go in the water so a neighbour took me in. That was the only time I ever went in. I live in Australia now and have... [more]

This photo brings back a lot of memories for me as a kid aged 5 in 1971, when me and my older brother spent around 3 hours on a Saturday afternoon playing outside the pub(Borough Hotel) and the steps of Woolworths (just a bit further up the street). Waiting for one of our parents to come out of the pub every... [more]

I was 19 years old and loved cycling. My aim was to cycle from Blackpool, where I lived, to Barley Youth Hostel on Pendle Hill. Unfortunately, I calculated too little time to reach my destination and found myself at the bottom of Pendle Hill, Padiham, I think, at 5.pm. in December. It was pitch black and the battery on...

Extracts From Foulridge & Lancashire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Foulridge, inspired by Frith photos.
Accrington Old and New Photographic Memories
In a few yards there were many clothes shops here, including Weaver to Wearer, Burtons and Fifty Shilling Tailors Ltd. The building on the corner of Broadway with the stylish curved frontage (right) housed Woods the tobacconist's and Porter's Wallpapers, both familiar names to Accringtonians over many years.

Accrington Old and New Photographic Memories
This part of Blackburn Road was a hive of activity with lots of shops. The electric tram (just visible under the bridge) shows that the photograph was taken after 1907, when the old steam trams of the Baltic Fleet were withdrawn. The Baptist chapel (centre left) was built in 1836, but since a larger building was erected on Cannon Street in 1874, it has undergone many changes of use.

Accrington Old and New Photographic Memories
The Town Hall was originally known as the Peel Institution, and was used as Assembly Rooms. The etching on the windows, 'Magistrates Room' and 'Solicitors Room', reminds us that the Magistrates' Courts were also housed here for many years. The police station, just visible behind on the left at the top of Union Street, was accessible from the court via an underground passage for the prisoners to pass through on their way from dock to cell. The imposing ballroom has seen... [more]
