More about this scene

The majestic sweep of the fertile fields down to the coast is also marked by the workings and spoils of man's need for the stone that is quarried from the mountain on this stretch of the coast. Penmaenmawr is pinned to the coast below the two peaks of Penmaenmawr and Penmaenbach. Tunnels were pierced though these peaks for the railway, and in later years a road tunnel was also blasted through.

Restoration Cont...10/11/12
This week, with the help of my friend Joe, we finished clearing the pond and cut the grass. You will notice from the photo that there are steps leading from the pond to the lawn, these are completely overgrown with grass so my next job is to find out if they were stone steps and if so are they still in good order. If someone knows please advise. I will then restore them. Will keep you posted.

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.
