More about this scene

The gardens are on the right of the picture; together with the Imperial Gardens, they testify to Cheltenham's love of flowers. The rotunda (now occupied by a bank) can be seen on the left. It was built in 1826, and was a concert hall and ballroom. Indeed, some of Gustav Holst's music received its first performance at the Rotunda; the famous composer was born in Cheltenham. The architectural link with Rome is maintained, as the Rotunda is reputedly based upon the Pantheon.

St Pauls College
Have very fond memories of attending St Paul's between 1975-78. Lovely old building-with corridor names like Pepper Row and Long Gallery. Had men's accommodation up until 1978 with ladies were given the top floor-a revelation at the time.Great times.

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.
