Pepper Street School.
I moved to Lymm in 1955 when I was 10. My form teacher was Mr Whittle. I remember also Mr Low ( who I had a crush on) and Mrs Smith, who took us for needlework. The boys used to do gardening with Mr Low. Some of the others in my class were Jeffrey Craig, Roger Benn, Marlys Parry, Winifed Arden, Ruth Archer, Leslie Stott, and Norma ?Stanforth.The last two are on my Christmas card list.Norma''s married name is Lee. If anyone remembers me, Pauline Vickers, I would love to hear from you.

The Dingle Lymm
Late 1940s I used to visit with my mother the Dingle cafe. I remember the 2 paths down from themain road.The first one took you down into the village but the 2ndone brought you out into a large lawn covered area wher ther was a white coloured c ottage where we could buy refreshments served by a young lady dressed in the old style of a waitress. I have never been able to find anything about this part of Lymm but I am sure I didn't dream it

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.
