More about this scene

The block at the corner is one of the latest boarding houses, and has clearly pushed back some older buildings. No doubt the kiosk sold tickets for the boats at the end of the pier, but for a generation which knew nothing of cars it also led to a railway system opening up the delights of County Down. It was a very attractive feature for the growing number of cross-water visitors.

St.Comgall's , Church Of Ireland.
This shows St. Comgall's before the addition of the spire; the church dominates the intersection of Hamilton Road and Castle Street, sitting in a roughly triangular plot encompassed by the aforesaid and Ruby Street. Long gone is the horse trough which stood at the apex of the triangle; was it saved?

The Long Hole

Bangor Abbey Church
The name of this church is incorrect; although known as Bangor Abbey it is a Protestant church which stands on the site of the Catholic abbey long since gone . The view is from Church Street, looking across the Newtownards Road. Thank you for letting us know - the archive has been updated with the correction. Regards, Editor.

That Hall Family
Has anyone any memories or being told of a Family called Hall which lived in Bangor about 1936-38. Their names were Albert and Annie and the children, Lesley , Gordon , Sylvia, and Nancy. I believe Albert was a locomotive driver. The information is for a book so anything no matter how small will help. Best wishes John m Taylor

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
