More about this scene

The stretch of buildings on the other side of the station were once the original Company Shop (of the Rhymney Iron Company), which was set up and strictly run by Andrew Buchan - there was another similar shop towards the upper end of Rhymney. The buildings still exist, but are now used for a different purpose. This picture gives a fine view up Surgery Hill and across the middle of Rhymney.

Engineering Firms Hymac And Merryweather
Hello, Does anyone remember working for Hymac? Some of their people later went to work for Merryweather in Rassau Industrial Estate around 1980 to 1984. I remember Malcolm Hulett, also Lesley Jones who came from the steel-works. Please send memories.

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.
