As a child I lived just a couple of hundred yards from that zebra crossing. Out of shot on the left was the Pavilion cinema - many happy memories spent there, though I had a stronger bond with the Palace, the other picture house in town where my grandmother worked as an usherette and for whom I delivered the weekly listings to several of the shops seen here in the farther distance: Freeman Hardy & Willis and ...see more

My Dad
The shop on the right. 1-3 High Street was opened by my father, Arthur Tordoff in 1930. I was born at 47 Jeremy lane, in the front room, in 1947. The upstairs was a toy showroom and every Christmas we had a Grotto and Santa came.

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.

Example of image retouching:

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.
