More about this scene

Turning into Dovecote Road we wind half a mile east to the corner of Mill Road to finish this chapter on a literary note. Erected as the Greasley Board School in 1878, it is now named Greasley Beauvale D H Lawrence Infant School. The door at the far left has the inscription 'Boys' above it, so through this door young D H Lawrence entered in 1893, aged 8. It is a little ironic that the town D H Lawrence offended so much by Sons and Lovers now commemorates him, and even has a D H Lawrence Trail.

Eastwood, Beauvale School 1956
I started Beauvale School in 1956 when I was 5 years old. At that time I lived with my parents at number 53 Raglan Street, Hilltop. I walked to school and back every day with my mum. I have fond memories of the old school and was there for 6 years and then my dad found work outside of Nottingham. My dad used to work at Moorgreen Pit in the NCB Workshops. I only wish that all schools were like this ...see more

Waiting At School
The lady on the photo is my Mum. She was waiting to meet me out of Beauvale School. The baby in the pram was a neighbour's little girl, my friend Teresa. ( We are still friends today.) Teresa was 10 years younger than me, so I would be nearly 11 at that time. Years later, from 1965-67, after 7 years at Nottingham High School for girls and 3 yrs.at  teacher training college at Thornbridge Hall, in Derbyshire,, I went back to Beauvale as a teacher ! Sadly my Mum died on Jan, 5th 2008.

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.
