More about this scene

The village had once been a centre for lead-mining, but by 1900 it was once again reliant upon agriculture, though there was still some quarrying carried out in the locality. The railway finally arrived at the village in 1902, with the opening of the line to Skipton. Here groups of children have gathered to be photographed in the broad cobbled square. The fast-flowing River Wharfe runs just outside the village.

School Journey
Does anyone remember going on a school journey from Park County Primary School in Doncaster in about 1953/54? We stayed at Long Ashes Guest house and our mothers came on a visit by bus towards the end of the week. I remember lumpy porridge for breakfast and having to dry out our clothes because we all got so wet. One of the teachers took lots of photos, copies of which I still have. I was Avril Fifield then.

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.
