You are here:
Streets broad and narrow... busy and tranquil... grand and humble - the variety and individuality of Britain's streets typify the unique character of our beloved towns.
Today, with the predominance of chain stores, shopping precincts and ring roads, our towns are all beginning to look the same. Yet if we look above the chain store fascias, or along the side streets, another world full of character and charm is revealed.
Rediscover the hidden delights of Britain's treasured towns, in this stunning NEW book release from The Francis Frith Collection, now available for only £25.

This fascinating book is packed with period photographs depicting scenes of urban life from 1870 to 1970, many printed full-colour or sepia, as well as beautiful line illustrations and historic maps. Brought together in Frith's "Streets Broad and Narrow" as never before, they peel away the layers of unsympathetic modern changes and show our towns before the planners altered them for ever. See examples of charming period signwriting and fascinating advertising signs from days gone by, brought once again to life in this sumptuous, glossy, full-colour book.
