More about this scene

This has all gone, and survives only in the name of a street - Brine Road. Situated in 70 acres of parkland, the hotel treated patients suffering from gout, rheumatism, sciatica, neuritis and even insomnia. Every need of the guests was catered for; this included stabling for 50 horses - and it is just possible to distinguish a mounting block beside the colonnaded entrance. Used during the Second World War as a convalescent home, it was finally demolished in 1958. The site has since been used for housing and schools.

Silver Watch
I have taken possesion of a very tired silver watch. On the back is engraved 'Presented to Rev J Pearce by the Welsh Row Choir. July 1927'. Does anyone have an interest in the watch?

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.
