More about this scene

The southern gateway of the outer bailey once guarded a small dock situated where the moat met a channel dug from the sea. Construction of the hexagonal outer bailey curtain wall, its associated towers and gates began in about 1315, though the northern gateway is thought not to have been completed. The design included offsetting the gateways in such a way that any attackers would be forced to turn a corner before reaching the inner ward gatehouses, thus subjecting them to a murderous crossfire from nearby towers.

Every now & then he would be excited by another path or view he had found, & this is one of them. 'Best view in Wales' he'd say, that is until he'd ...see more

Family Holday
Our 1975 holiday in Beaumaris included myself, husband, two daughters, mother and father. We ate most nights in the Cottage Café where early in the week I spotted a large white horse ornament in a cabinet half-way up the stairs but it was not for sale. My father evidently spoke every night to the owner (the name Gwen springs to mind) trying to persuade her to let him buy the horse for me as a surprise. By the ...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.
