Happy Days
I was born in 1948 and lived in Newbiggin By the Sea a lot of my life. The cafe was called the Lido and I would spend hours in there listening to the juke box, it was the only way I could get to hear the latest pop music. The ice cream was good but my friends and I used to have a coffee as it lasted longer. Sadly the Lido is now closed, I think the last time I was in there when it was still an ice cream cafe was 2005 ish, perhaps someone can fix the date for me?

The Seats At Lynemouth
When we were teenagers and bored we would sit on old men's seat at the junction over the bridge and watch the smelly tankies go by. Some of the lads would go tanky hopping and grab on the back for a ride! The girls would wait for any lads go by the sea coalers in their cars. Lynn Smith and Harry Allport and John Robinson - we were all mates.

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.

Example of image retouching:

Before
After

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.
