More about this scene

The amount of change since 1929 is surprisingly small, although Cookes the stationer's has become Austin's. Below the second window of the building marked 'Restaurant' (the fifth building from the left) is the opening to Bank Yard, named after the Old Bank which occupied the building in 1792. The roofs behind, parallel to the High Row of the Market Place, are houses in Waterloo Street, demolished in 1963.

My Family
My mother, was born in 8, Millgate in 1908. In this image, the lady is standing in the doorway of the house is my grandmother, Elizabeth Smith and the man standing outside may possibly be my grandad, David Smith. My family still lived in that house in the late 60's - my mother's sister Mildred Brown (nee Smith) and her husband Fred Brown. I live in hartlepool, I went there with my sisters when we were young.

Genealogy & Research Images

Despite over 20 years’ work on the archive, these scans have still not been individually checked and may prove to be damaged, faded, or not of sufficient quality to ever be offered in our full product range. However, if you would particularly like to buy one of these please get in touch quoting the Frith negative number,(s) the town name and size of print you would like to buy. On receipt of your enquiry our archivist will check the scan and advise you if the quality is good enough.

What is an Album?

An album is a way to save a selection of Frith photos, maps and memories that are of interest to you.

Creating an Album enables you to make short lists and then make a final selection from the album. In particular it makes ordering things like calendars much easier - simply create an Album of the 12 photos you like and then use the Album when placng your order - our order process will give you this option.

You can create as many Albums as you want, so perhaps make one for your hometown, where you live now, where your parents live now etc.
