More about this scene

This photograph was taken from the corner of Caroline Street and Queen Street. Davies's Buildings containing the post office was built in 1892 on the site of the Mackworth Arms (demolished 1890/91). The new cottage hospital, pre-dating this photograph by three years, stands at the top of the street. We can just see the entrance to Caroline Street's first market half way up the street on the right.

A Child As An Inpatient In Penyfai & Glanrhyd
Hello I was a patient at Penyfai back in 1973 and I was only twelve years of age. I regularly went over to Glanrhyd as that is where the social centre was, and would sometimes take the back exit towards Penycae up past the bends by the railway line. I have done a book on my childhood experiences of abuse and trauma which led to me being sectioned at the age of twelve. It is available ...see more

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.
