More about this scene

We are looking towards Baxtergate and the Clock Corner (built 1894). We can see the 15th-century tower of St George's church on the horizon (left). This was rebuilt to the designs of Sir Gilbert Scott in 1858 after a major fire five years earlier. On the right are Burton's the tailor and the Nag's Head, built in 1930. The shops and stores on the left were demolished in the last decade to make way for the new Frenchgate shopping centre.

Tracing Family History
I was born in Kirk Sandall, Doncaster, and our family are trying to trace the family tree. My grandmother Mrs F M Britten used to run a grocery shop at 109 Balby Road in the 1930s (I believe it's now a hairdressers) Does anyone remember this, and has any photo's of the shop. My father, Samuel Britten died 5years ago, so I'm trying to find someone who may have any memories of that time, and fill in some history. My name was Anne Britten prior to marriage.

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.
