More about this scene

Back to the east of St Peter's Hill, the photographer looks north along Castlegate, with the Beehive Inn on the left; the leaves hide a beehive set in the tree, which is still there. The name sign 'East Street' has been reused on a 1960s replacement for the buildings on the right, while beyond the Gothic-style school soars the 280 feet tower and spire of St Wulfram's.

School Days
My last three years at school were spent in the small building at the centre of the picture. At the time what had previously been the Brownlow infants school was an annex to the Girl's Central School hidden behind building to the right. Both buildings now have another use as The Girls Central School was replaced by Walton Girls School on Kitty Briggs Lane back in the mid 1960s

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.
