More about this scene

These are the ruins of Bromholm Priory, founded in 1113. It was famous for possessing 'the Holy Rood of Bromholm', said to be part of the true Cross. The village purchased it in 1223 and immediately miraculous cures began to happen, with dead people being restored to life. The same year Henry III visited the priory and granted the village a fair. There are interesting fragments of the priory remaining, particularly the transept, the chapter house and the dormitory.

I was a live in pupil at Eden Hall from 1976 to 1979 it was a great school and all of the other children who were at the school came from all over the uk, as it wasn't like most other schools nearly all of us had illnesses, and couldn't go to normal main stream schools due to being vulnerable children But if i could turn the clock back i wouldn't change it for the world I LOVED GOING TO EDEN HALL SCHOOL

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.
