More about this scene

Wide open skies and the Irish Sea beyond the Wyre estuary make this club a favourite with golfers. The sea air and exercise encourage appetites. It is thought that the name Knot came from the sea bird, as there used to be flocks of them here—Knott End assumed the extra 't' only in recent years. Others believe that the word refers to the groups of stones that were removed when harbour improvements were effected in 1840. The stones were Scandinavian in origin, and a certain Haakon (who gave his name to Hackensall Hall) had a settlement here at the time of the Viking raids, approximately AD800.

Just A Puddle Jumper
I lived about 3 minutes from the beach and down the steps and on to patches of grass we used to go jump on. The tide came in and out and used to leave behind seawater puddles collected by the green patches of grass. Of course, as kids we used to love overturning the rocks in the puddles and trying to find any sea life there might be, but our biggest fun was racing over these puddles trying to land on ...see more

Various Memories
My parents visited Knott-End-on-Sea many times, particularly in the September before I was born in March 1932.

They were a lovely family - I think the daughter was called Eva but cannot remember the name of their son. They moved to Fleetwood. My parents and I visited ...see more

Knott End In The 1950s And The 1960s By Norma Smith
We, that is my father Norman, mother Ethel and my Auntie Peg, moved to Knott End in 1948 and lived at 15 The Esplanade. As well as being a boarding house (as it was called in those days) it doubled up as the doctors' surgery. For those with a good memory you might remember Old Dr Taylor Young, Dr Taylor and Dr Allen Pilling from one practice and Dr Stewart, a GP on his own. ...see more

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.
