More about this scene

An 18th-century house incorporating Trowell Stores (advertising Brooke Bond Tea) and the White Horse Inn selling Tolly ales and stout face the square. A delivery bicycle is propped against the wall (right). The shelter of the Barograph Memorial has a pyramidal roof and a wrought iron weather vane. The weather vane may have been the work of a Belgian refugee who lived at Walnut Trees in the High Street, the home of the Tebbutt family. The Barograph Memorial was erected to the memory of Charles Prentice and Mary Goodman Tebbutt in 1911 by their son Louis.

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.
