More about this scene

This brief tour ignores the Georgian houses of High Pavement, the castle and the famous Lace Market area to descend to the River Trent. Originally the town extended only as far as the River Leen, but during the 19th century it advanced south across The Meadows to the River Trent. This view looks towards the 1871 cast iron Trent Bridge from the Victoria Embankment, a view much changed today, with the awful West Bridgford Hotel of 1962 (now Rushcliffe Civic Centre) replacing the trees, and the 1990s grandstands of Nottingham Forest Football Club rising beyond.

St. Anns
I was born in 1951 and lived in Leicester St, St Ann's up until August 1967 when the family moved to Bestwood Park.Whilst living in St Ann's I had put up with an outside toilet,no central heating and no running hot water.What a luxury it was to live in Bestwood Park!!!

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.

Example of image retouching:

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.
