More about this scene

A splendid journey awaits travellers across the Moors on the preserved railway line from Pickering to Grosmont. The station and crossing is at the bottom of the hill, and next to the Station Tavern (centre right) is now a new signal box. Houses here date from the early 19th century, and for shopping the Co-op (left) opened in 1867. Motor cars in this scene are from the same period as TV's Heartbeat, also set in the mid 1960s.

Wallasey Village
My memories of Wallasey go back to 1945. I went to St George's road school. Mr Sykes was the headmaster. I remember Barry West Valerie Windsor Jennifer Dean and many more. Miss Merrick was our last class teacher. My parents had the cycle shop in Wallasey. Village. Longworhs. Does anyone have any other memories?

The Pleasure 0f It All At Bradford On Avon !!
I remember sitting having lunch on the bank of canal seeing those charming barges slowly drifting past and making me feel that I would love to be on board going somewhere, anywhere at all just taking in the day in the warm sun, and walking over to the barge inn for a nice cool drink !!

Northampton
Does anyone know anything about the mounts area. My grandparents lived in earl street next door to the morning star pub , of which I can find no information. Opposite them was a Chinese laundry called sunlight. I remember collecting their Chrisp white sheets wrapped in brown paper. I attended St Mary's school on the mounts and loved getting the sweets and toffee apples from a quaint little shop on the mounts. Would love to hear from anyone who remembers these places.

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.
