More about this scene

This hotel was notable for its Art Deco design. This stretch of the coast developed long after Blackpool; with the coming of the tram system, there was much rivalry to purchase land for hotels, hydros and houses. The Bispham cum Norbreck Ratepayers Association and Gynn Estate residents were vocal in the early 1900s about gas supply and cliff erosion.

Merry Christmas
What a joy to see the stained glass window again. Every childhood Christmas with my beloved mum & dad, my brother and I would enter the fancy dress competition in this very room. Also we eagerly awaited the arrival of Father Christmas, coming down the lift!! So many families we met year after year, every Christmas, catered for by Jean Coleman and her husband. Thanks to Mum and Dad for the most wonderful memories.

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.
