More about this scene

In 1538 Roche Abbey was surrendered to the Crown and destroyed. The choir stalls were fired to melt lead; timber and stone were sold off as the great building was reduced to little more than a quarry. Michael Sherbrook, rector of Wickersley, wrote: 'All things of price either spoiled, carted away, or defaced to the uttermost.....nothing was spared but the oxhouses and swinecoates and other such houses of office, that stood without the walls'.

Crossroads Image
This Maltby Crossroads image (Queens corner) is probably more like 1967. In 65 that shop on the right was not built - it was waste ground the people walked over from Barbers Fish n chip shop (which would be behind this new shop extreme right) to the first shop on Grange lane, which would be Marshal's Grocery store (its now a Job Centre I believe) My name is Gary and I lived in Maltby from 1964 until 1979

Lido House, Public Lido Pool, Bawtry Road
In the grounds of lido house there was an the remains of an old lido pool that my grandparents visited when younger. Next to the pool was a garden with an old sandstone fountain. I cannot find anything about an open air public pool existing possibly in the 1930s in Bramley. Can anyone help?

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.
