This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Holywell Cross
I lived on Devonshire Street just off Holywell Cross from 1950 to 1963 and I can still remember the area quite vividly. Devonshire Street was a short cut for workers walking to the Trebor factory. Our landlord, Mr Pashley, had a shop at the top of the street opposite the YMCA. At the bottom of Newbold Rd going towards Holywell Cross there was Cavendish Motors, Grosvenor’s tea rooms, Slacks solicitors, Turner’s sweet ...see more

The King And Miller Pub
I wonder if anyone out there remembers the King and Miller Pub in the 60's on Knifesmithgate? It had two bars the upper bar on knifesmithgate and the lower opened onto the high street. I think it was where the Halifax is now, the bars were connected by a narrow passage I think. It was a fantastic building and I wondered if anyone knew anymore about the history of it and what it was originally was or have any photo's of it?

Model Railway
I was wondering if anyone remembered the model railway that was in Brocklehurst Motors on Whittington Moor on the sight that now has Asda, Iceland and Halfords? My dad used to work on the petrol pumps in the sixties and used to take me to watch the trains. They used to run thro tunnels in a mountain like model. No one seems to remember it. I have lived in Chesterfield since I was two years old and all my family, ...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.
