More about this scene

The centre of the town, shown here, is certainly becoming the domain of the motorist; we can see few vehicles, but a plethora of road signs. A rather nice Mark 1 Cortina can be seen passing the Norman parish church on the left. The large trees in front of the church do not permit much more speculation about the architecture. However, the Mansel Hotel on the extreme left is most conveniently situated for wedding receptions.

My father was away in the war and we only saw him on leave. I remember going to Lakefield School where my first teacher was a Miss Thomas. I also remember going around the market with my grandfather ...see more

Ann Street Memories
Having been born in Ann Street in 1962, my memories of the surrounding area are quite vivid, including Waddles Foundry; the metal beating from the works would often wake me in the morning. It was on land just behind the Bull pub, close to Waddles, that I have one of my earliest memories. The fair had arrived and my mother put me on a ride with Nobby Horse, he was the local paper boy, probably aged around 40 ...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.
