I was at Mid-Cheshire College in 1976. I got to know The Greenbank rather well!

This view of Davenham Church shows the house in which I grew up.
The property, the former vicarage, had been split into semi's and I lived in the left hand side as you look - Church Croft.
I lived there for 17 years - from Easter 1959 and I love the house to this day!

I lived next door to the Church for 17 years and during that time, I climbed to the top of the spire just once.
In 1962 when I was 10, some neighbours were having their house decorated.
Being an outgoing (some would say nosey) child, it didn't take me long to befriend the two men who were doing the work.... [more]

I lived next door to Davenham Church, and one summer's day, when I was about 7, I went for a walk around the churchyard. Hearing a rustling noise on the ground, I crouched down, parted some long grass, and found a baby hedgehog. Now my sister and I had had a tortoise, and he had died during the winter, so I... [more]

Bert Price's Shop was at the top of our street - Church Street. Bert Prices' shop sold anything and everything. From household buckets and dusters to DIY tools, firewood, fire lighters and paraffin for the heater in our bathroom. It was run - if memory serves me right - by Mr Price and two sons. It was the shop of choice... [more]

This field was behind our house and is accessed from a path that runs along the churchyard wall. From the age of about 7, I spent many a happy hour with my dog Shep - just wandering around the field looking at the Buttercups, spying rabbit holes and trying to keep the dog out of dried cow pats.
The path... [more]

Extracts From Hartford & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Hartford, inspired by Frith photos.
Now really a suburb of Northwich, Hartford has long been a more desirable area in which to live, particularly in the past for the town's wealthier manufacturers. Its name comes about because it sits close to the River Weaver, where once, presumably, there was a fording point where deer would cross – a good spot for hunters (or poachers).

Warrington Photographic Memories
A Moore resident keeps a look out for a rare commercial barge making its leisurely way along the Bridgewater Canal. Since this tranquil image was captured by Frith, only pleasure boats ply the canal and tie at up Moore to stock up at the village shop.

Moore's village school was showing its age in 1955. Built in 1877 for a much smaller community, its facilities had failed to keep pace with its teaching standards. An HMI's report of 1956 commented on the unsuitability of the cumbersome old school desks, the lack of dining facilities and the need for new toilets to replace 'the present bucket sanitation'.
