More about this scene

One famous painter, L S Lowry, visited Clitheroe many times. His paintings of the town show a great interest in its rooftops, which are well illustrated in this photograph. Rooftops echo the different periods of building. One rooftop of 1860 shows the Royal Insignia; it was the Court House, Lowergate (just out of this photograph). The free burgesses of the town held privileges expressed in 13 charters drawn up over 11 centuries.

Morris Dancing With The Clitheroe Morris Men
This was a weekend to remember! The Clitheroe Morris Men invited several other dance "sides" to join them for a weekend of dancing, music and - of course - beer drinking! By a lucky chance I was included in this invitation due to a strange set of circumstances... Just the Autumn before, in 1979, I had begun to play my piano accordian for the Whitethorn Morris team in Harrow, ...see more

Paddling Pool, Castle Field
I remember this pool vividly! One day I was riding my tricyle round the outside of the pool, which wasn't filled with water at the time. Unfortunately I happened to fall in and I cut my hand on a broken glass. After 34 years I still have a scar to prove it.

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.
