This image is a Reference Print: it has not been shown on our website before as it has not been optimised and therefore may not meet the quality standards we require for use in our normal product range. However, we understand that this image could be potentially important for genealogical, local history or architectural research and so we are showing it on the website for on-line research only. The photo may be available to buy, but needs to be checked and optimised before you can place an order.

Why are these different? All 300,000 photographs in The Frith Collection have been scanned, but as the photos were taken over a 110 year period on a wide range of glass & film negatives, using different photographic processes, every image has to be checked and optimised, before we make a print for a customer.

Bands, Cinema & Theatre 1970's '80's
Spent a good deal of time here in my younger years. My brother & many of his friends worked at the MoD,, & had what they called 'the Tuesday night cinema club'. Good or bad, most Tuesdays would see us at the cinema in the Winter Gardens to see a film, going for a drink - or 3 - after in the Unicorn or Nags Head. Another popular pub was The Morgan (not the later one near Barnards ...see more

Working On Church Street Six Times
When in 2018 I started work as a supervisor in a shop on Church Street, it occurred to me that I had had four jobs & two volunteer posts on the road. The first was a temporary job in the late '70's under the Job Creation Scheme. We were working for the Council, the depot was in Pickersleigh Road (now a builders merchant), next to Prospect View. But our boss was based in Church Street ...see more

14 Years 'on The Post'
On the right hand side of this photo is the Post Office, & on the extreme right is the Delivery Office ‘deck’. This is where the lorries of mail were unloaded. These would arrive through the night, & the mail unloaded & sorted by the night shift. I worked in the DO for 14 years, seeing many changes - not for the better - during my time. When I started, you would go in at 5am, & on a ...see more

Ashgrove, 40, St Anns Road, Great Malvern
See Ashgrove, on part of the hill known as the Hilly Piece, with commanding views over the town, to the left of the Priory in the 1871 picture. The house was built in 1809 for the Revd Stillingfleet, Prebendary of Worcester Cathedral and remained as shown, until the main sitting room and two bedrooms above, to the right of the house, 'disappeared' in the late 1930's. I tried to identify ...see more

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.
