Building The New Shopping Centre
I was born near COventry in 1948 and we move to Olton in 1952. After I left school in late 1965 I got a job as a labourer with C Bryant & Sons on the new Solihull shopping centre, and a few weeks later head office insisted i work in the office as a site clerk. I worked with John Garratt. I remember the new Sainsburys; I had never seen a supermarket before. I bought Elgar's Enigman variations in W H ...see more

1950s/60s
My mum, Kay Walford, was at Solihull Girls' School and Malvern, and I've found some of the magazines from the late 1950s/early 60s. Would anyone be interested in them? Or does anyone know of an ex-pupils group or local history group who would like them? (Happy to post them) felicity.morgan@talktalk.net

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.
