More about this scene

Eight miles south of Hornsea, Aldbrough is a more genteel resort about a mile inland - although coastal erosion shortens this distance each year. Inside the church of St Bartholomew (built 1377) is the tomb of Sir John de Melsa, who was governor of York from 1292 to 1296. He was also a renowned warrior. His helmet, now in the Tower of London, was used as a coal-scuttle before restoration.

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.
