More about this scene

There was a village settlement here in the 13th century, and from time immemorial agriculture was the mainstay. In 1938, however, a large Royal Ordnance factory was opened, working day and night to supply munitions for World War II. In Dawber's Lane the craft of wattle and daub for cruck-built cottages was carried on, but Runshaw Lane has few signs of antiquity today.

My Eli Memories.
Just found this site. I was born in Euxton in the early 50s, went to school there for a while and finally left in the early 70s. My dad's family had lived in the village since the late 19th century. They came from Wrightington and before that from the Preston area, I believe. I remember Eli - he was a village fixture and everyone knew him. I knew his son too who I seem to remember was the porter at Euxton Balshaw ...see more

Why No Memories Of Euxton?
I am amazed no one has posted any memories of Euxton as it is a wonderful place with a rich history. I have only lived here for 25 years but even in that short time realise it has been a close knit community with lots of characters, who remembers Eli Heaton? Come on Euxton, rack your brains.

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.

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.
