More about this scene

Moulton is a village of narrow winding lanes, lined by stone-built cottages and houses, nowadays with traffic calming and one-way systems. The stone-built Gothicky Methodist Chapel of 1835 with its pretty arched windows is next to the old school of 1878, now used by the Moulton Theatre. Unfortunately the tranquillity of this view is somewhat spoilt today by the level of traffic, mostly cars, snaking through the village's narrow lanes.

Working At The Coop Store.
This used to be a very busy street, with the Coop Store, butchers and the office at the back of the butchers, also the coal yard at the back. I worked at the Coop 1957 to 1963, very happy times. In the winter, the manager, Ron Birch had to go down the cellar and light the boiler with coke from the coal yard to heat the radiators, but it still was very cold. We used to get grocery orders ready; they ...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.
