More about this scene

First railways and then the motor age signalled the end of the canal network for commercial use. Colourful pleasure craft and anglers now enjoy the tranquillity of the Bridgewater Canal as it passes through the south Warrington districts of Lymm, Thelwall, Grappenhall, Stockton Heath, Walton and Moore.

Growing Up In Grappenhall 1980s And 1990s
Having grown up in Grappenhall I've seen it develop with time, but its managed to keep its identity, even though there's been a growing demand for redevelopment in the area.   Within the space of a few streets you were able to experience several ages of British history.  Like a timeline, starting on the higher ground you have the quaint village life within the cobbled village centre. ...see more

More about Image Optimisation

All our photos are printed as optimised versions of their originals, this process can take anything from 15 minutes to several hours. This ensures that the product you get shows the true quality that Frith photos are renowned for.

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.
