Although now living over a thousand miles away, my memories of my childhood in Great Sankey will always be dear to me.
Brought up in Hood Lane near the Rose Inn, the endless stream of traffic passing my garden gate heading to and from the United States Air Force base at Butonwood. I remember saying hello to Cleo Laine when... [more]

I used to stay with my Aunt at Brian Avenue during the late 1940s early 1950s and whilst there my daily activity was to cycle to Latchford and watch the boats passing through the locks.

I was stationed at the Burtonwood army depot near Warrington in 1967 through to 1969. I remember taking pictures of the Queen's vehicle as they drove past me.

Extracts From Old Hall & Cheshire books
Displaying a selection of extracts from Frith books about Old Hall, 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.
