More about this scene

This view looks away from the castle. In the foreground is a market where trippers could buy fresh fish off the local boats. On the right is the lifeboat station. The lifeboat was slung on a wheeled cradle which would be hauled out of the station, down the ramp immediately in front of it, and into the sea; the boat floated off once there was sufficient water under her.

Colley's Cosy Camp
This series of photos of the chalets are taken at Colley's Cosy Camp - high up on the bluff overlooking Scarborough bay. To get to the sand and ocean we had to walk out of the camp and down a winding road to the promenade. Great family holidays. There were also a few caravans for rent at the back of the property. My family went there a couple of times for two weeks in the summer the last being in 1959. ...see more

National Service 1958
I was posted to Burniston Barracks as a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Pioneer Corps in 1958. Our task was to clear the Fylingdale Moors of unexploded munitions. Unfortunately we experienced the deaths of several soldiers on the Moors on the day I arrived. In no time we had ambulancies on site as well as helicopters on stand by. It was a satisfying job which had to stop each time the fog ...see more

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.
